Message from Our President
The book raffle is fun and can provide our Roundtable  with  some  extra
funds but mostly it's a good opportunity to get some good reading at the
right price.                                                            

This month's prize is the "unrevised proof" of the book "The  Last  Full
Measure"  by  Jeff Shaara, author of "Gods and Generals," which spent 13
weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.                            

"Unrevised  proof"  indicates there can be some differences between this
proof and the final published books meaning it may very well be  unique.
Those of you who are close readers can find the differences!            

This  particular  book  is  signed  by  the  author and should be a fine
addition to and a keeper for any library.                               

Take a chance for a dollar and enjoy the risk and, hopefully, the book. 
                                     Troy
