   I recommend the “White House Special Handboo, or How to Rule the World in the 21st Century” by Mikhail Kryzhanovsky, ALGORA, New York, 2007. It’s a revolution in politics, espionage and warfare.

   I just wanted to introduce myself as a New England author of a new regional true crime book. With a medium-sized publishing house and a large base of true crime readers out there I wanted to be sure I personally reached out to the libraries, where interest in this book might be strongest. I hope you don’t mind this correspondence, but if this is a book that might interest you, or if there are true crime readers that you think might be interested, I hope THRILL KILLERS is a book you could recommend, or perhaps even have a copy made available on your shelves for patrons to read.
   THRILL KILLERS is about the gruesome murders of two college students who were carjacked and kidnapped in Providence, RI in June 2000, taken to secluded location and shot execution-style. The crime was random and the shooting was perpetrated by five young men who stoked one another to kill the students without conscience or motive. The thrill they received from the slayings netted them only a joy ride and $18. My co-author was Detective Raymond Pingitore, who was the lead investigator on this tragic double murder. He helped solve the case and worked with the victim’s families to pursue federal carjacking charges against the killers. This case will be featured on Tru TV’s FORENSIC FILES later this year.

   This hardcover book from New Horizon Press Books, ISBN: 0882822918, is being distributed by Perseus and other major book distributors; B&T, Ingram. Very generous discounting on sites such as Amazon.com has been helping to increase readership as well.
   For more information about this book, feel free to check out my web site (www.PaulLonardo.com)
   I look forward to hearing back from you with any feedback you may have.
   Sincerely,
   Paul Lonardo

   Thanks for your suggestions, Claudia and Paul! I should note that we do give precedence to suggestions from Park County Library System patrons, but we always appreciate hearing about new books.

   I think the “trucker” ad campaign is great. That girl isn’t necessarily nude—she could very well be wearing a modest bathing suit. Assuming she is nude indicates a certain turn of mind that does not speak well for the observer.

   Why did you remove my suggestion about increased ‘no cell zone’ signage?

   TMI, I am afraid your comment accidentally got wiped out when the website went down for a little while last week. I have, however, forwarded your message to Frances Clymer, the library director and Marge Buchholz, the Cody branch manager. I know that Cody is constantly fighting the battle against cell phones, but perhaps more signs will help. Again, thanks for your input!

   Here’s the content of TMI’s original comment:

   “I’d like to request that you post better signage advertising your ‘cell free zone’ library. During each visit to your Cody branch I’m forced to endure multiple one-sided conversations about aunt Martha, current fashion trends, the cat’s latest trick, stock market fluctuations, etc.
   If you’re unable to enforce your rules throughout the library, perhaps you can designate sections of the facility as true quiet zones.
   Thank you.”

    I think the library should acquire a copy of “Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman” by Jon Krakauer. This book was just published and I’m sure there are plenty of Park County readers who would enjoy it.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Logan. It is already on my list! Also, a note to Logan and other commenters: please let us know if you are a Park County Library System patron, as we give precedence to patron requests.

    I am the author of a children’s chapter book, Up, Up The Mountain. It takes place in Ten Sleep, Wyoming and the nearby Big Horn Mountains circa 1920. It is written for children 9 and up and has been enjoyed by adults as well. Up, UP The Mountain is loosely based on my mother’s experiences as she and her sisters trailed up the Big Horn Mountains with their parents and their sheep wagon. They spend the summer on Grandpa’s sheep range. It is full of adventure, chuckles and history.

    In September 2009 I gave a slide presentation on the book at the Worland High School for the 4th grade students there and that evening I presented an adult lecture at the Washakie Museum.
