Ed. . . .do you have any business card templates. . . . .when I start working I'll be coming in contact with lots of folks who either have recently gotten back from deployment, are going soon, or know someone who is. . . . .I'd be happy to make some cards with pertinent information to pass on to them. . . . .

Ann: I haven't thought about that. Do you mean something in Pagemarker? Ed Patterson Yale Jaffe mentions Operation eBook Drop in an author interview he recently gave; http://simurl.com/spadblogEd P |

Or Word, or Publisher, or something. . . . . .
I'm thinking something that could be printed onto standard Avery business card stock and handed out. . .smaller, possibly simplified version of the logo with web/e-mail contact information for troops who might be interested. . . . . . .

I thought about trying to work something up but I'm not great at that sort of thing. And the logo is a fairly complex design. . . .wasn't sure how to copy it from, say, Facebook, make it smaller, and not have it be pretty useless. . . . .I also wasn't exactly sure what specific information should be included. .. . . .
I have clients who work in the Chaplains' office and public affairs, etc. . . . . .I'd be more than happy to let them know about the program and spread the word as they are willing!

If everyone agrees, I will create a generic business card that anyone can customize to insert their name and email address.

That would be wonderful, Jeff. You always come through. And we can distribute these with the welcome letters and make them available through the forum, here and the fanclub, I think. Ann, excellent idea. I thank you. Also, Jeff - do you have the UK logo also?

There are two very simple and easy to edit MS Publisher files on the OEBD site. US VersionUK VersionJust right click and save as then open with MS Office or any other compatible application. They should fit on Avery or most other ink jet business card forms. This is what the card looks like when printed:  If anyone wants a more elaborate design or a special size, just send me an email or PM. |

Jeff, that's great for the authors. . . .but I don't want any of MY personal information on it.  I'm just looking for something that will tell the soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines where to go to get hooked up with free books. Kind of just a generic. . . .here's the website, here's what you do to get free books. . . . . |

You can change anything you want, save it to a new name and email the new *.pub file to me and I'll post it for you. |

She can email me for a jpeg file. That way the resolution will be good enough for a card. She could copy it from here, but it'd probably be too grainy. ( magnoliab@prodigy.net) |
