The SWCC (formerly the #Canadian Science Writers' Association) is mulling over the idea of doing a single, on-demand print version of the book 'From Typewriters to Twitter: Celebrating 50 Years of Science Writing' that I edited and wrote much of. Looking at possibly doing an on-demand print-run if enough interest is expressed (previous responses to a call for interest were lost due to email issues and staff turnover).
The cost of the books would be set to cover the costs of printing and shipping. Likely about $20-$30CDN plus shipping, for a bound paperback, limited edition. Price depends on the overall number ordered.

Some of you had a chance to see the PDF version. But who is interested in ordering a print version to grace your shelves?

I was managing editor and did much of the writing -- along with a great team. Many familiar names in science journalism contributed to this project. It also covers the origin of the CSWA -- as a Canadian branch of the #NASW.

Please let the association know if you would order a copy, and how many. If there is enough interest then an ordering process could be set up. Once they know who is interested, this will inform the SWCC's decision, and if they go ahead they can can contact you directly.

If you know others who would be interested, share this note.

Yes! I would order X number of copies! CONTACT: office@sciencewriters.ca Put "PRINT BOOK" in the subject heading.
