Note From JWR:

My thanks to the many SurvivalBlog readers that ordered my “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course during the recent pre-publication sales promotion. I have noted it as an indication that I may eventually be able to make a living at freelance writing and blogging. My next task is to get the expanded edition of my novel “Patriots” into print. I recently signed a contract with a new publisher. I am hopeful to begin shipping orders for the book in September or October. (It all depends on the publisher’s book production schedule.) I’m posting the following article that I penned as …

Note from JWR:

About half of the cache of 50 books that I recently found at an estate sale have now sold or are pending sale. (The same ones that I first mentioned on June 28th.) There are still some great titles on: preparedness, self-sufficiency, homesteading, gardening, canning, shooting, livestock, recipes, carpentry, outdoor survival, NBC protection, fire protection, offshore relocation, and a few “hard money” investing books.
