Laura,

I like the name of that book. Care to join us on another thread about The California Problem? https://permies.com/t/45830/md/California

We'd like to hear your ideas on how to best help California.

Thanks!

Sheri

I downloaded the Kindle version last night and I'm very inspired by your book. Excellent timing with the water issues we have in California.

I'll also post to another forum to ask some questions.

Thanks for your generosity Laura! As someone who's chances of winning are akin to getting struck by lightning and by a 747 in my backyard at the same time, what venue of purchase offers you the most money after your vendors have taken their cuts?

I'm only selling books in person at events, so unless you buy from me directly at an event there is no financial difference for me where people purchase books.
Thanks for asking though!

So I ran the winner picker app in the forum software and we have 2 winners.

Jackie Kim
and
P Lyons

Congratulations Jackie and P!

I sent you an email to ask for the email address of the person that first referred you to Permies.com. That person (if qualified) will also get a copy of the book and a permies care package.
