If anyone has any trouble purchasing the book through the above link, please let me know. Setting up the book through Lulu was more complicated than I thought (probably more my fault than theirs), so there
may be a couple more glitches that need to be worked out. Your feedback will be helpful.
The book is currently available through the link
http://www.lulu.com/content/2005085. It will also be available in a few weeks through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. We will soon have a link estalished on searchingforanna.com to the Lulu.com site for easy ordering.
We have two goals in publishing the book. First, we want to spread the word about Anna to the broadest audience possible in the hope that someone with any information will see it and come forward. This is the reason that sites such as Amazon are important venues to distribute the book. Secondly, we are hoping to use revenue generated from book sales to help finance the search (expenses such as website hosting and access to pay research sites, etc.). This is mentioned because there is a major difference in royalties paid between Lulu and the other retail outlets. Books purchased directly through Lulu will generate about four times the revenue for the search as compared to Amazon. So everything being equal on your part, purchasing through Lulu will help the search the most.
Thanks to everyone who been anxious to see the finished product. I have been somewhat AWOL while working on the final touches of the book, but now that it is compete, I intend to jump back into this forum with renewed vigor. There are several interesting leads that have been set aside while I concentrated on the book, but I will persue them afresh now that I can focus on the search.
