Toys, Games, and Action Figure Collectibles of the 1970s: Volume III Pocket Super Heroes to Star Trek : The Motion Picture is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.

Volume 4, which is the last in the series, should be available within a day.

My original plan was to just have 3 volumes, but since I wanted to give my readers more pictures, I figured two more books would be a better way to go.

Otherwise, I would've had to cut down the quality of the pictures down by 1/2, and I didn't want them to look horrible.

So...enjoy!

I decided to combine all of my 1970s toy books into one for those of you who would rather just have one large volume. Available now only on Amazon, and within a few months it should be on Barnes and Noble as well as Apple. It's huge, folks. The Epub file was around 41 megs, and before it was converted the Word document file was around 112 megs. All for just $7.99. Enjoy!

Finally....after, literally, 1/2 a year of non-stop hiccups, I managed to get my Ebay Antiques guide on Apple's ITunes store.

I'm working on a new collectibles identification guide that also corresponds with super heroes. I'm not going to list the title yet, but let's just say that it will be the ONLY Ebook like it available on the planet. I checked! :)

I think you'll really like it because it's so unique, so stay tuned!

My new book is about to be released! Here's the summary:

Collectors of comic book superhero memorabilia as well as vintage pinback buttons are quite abundant in today’s day and age. However, what both groups are often unaware of is the sheer abundance and variety of items that contain elements of both collectible types. This unique book dives headfirst into an often-unknown collection type that features pin-backs and badges that represent these iconic characters. Combining unique historical insights, origin points for the pins themselves, and a variety of over 175 pictures, this identification guide will both delight and amaze a variety of people of all ages who have always loved superheroes.

My new book entitled Comic Book Superhero Collectible Pin-Back Buttons and Badges of the 1940s-1960s is OFFICIALLY published. It's currently on Amazon, should be on Barnes and Noble within a day, and within a month or two should be available on Apple devices. For the current Amazon link, please visit this page:

Please remember, if you don't have a Kindle you can download a PC or Mac version online through Amazon for FREE and read books through your computer!

My new book is now on Barnes and Noble in addition to Amazon. Check it out!

I decided to explore Goodreads after having been a member for a long time but not really having much time to mess with many of its features. It's even more amazing than I thought, and it’s obviously a really good site and helps people who are looking for good books to find them.

As an independent author and publisher, I need all the help I can get! If any of you read any of my Ebooks or print versions of my books and liked them, one of the best ways to let others know about them is to get on Goodreads on their *lists* and click on vote.

If you wouldn’t mind helping me out, in a second I’ll tell you how to do it. Besides, Christmas was a little rough financially for me, and now I’m about to move which isn’t going to make things much better. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!

As a side note, again, my father and I would like to thank everyone for their continued support! Also, be sure to look out for future books by myself *and* by two additional authors that I will be publishing. The additional Ebooks will be coming from both my Dad as well as a young woman who is showing a lot of promise. Anyway, here’s the info if you want to help our cause. Thank you!

1. If you have a Goodreads account (Free), login in at

http://www.goodreads.com/

2. If you don’t, sign up.

3. Once you’re logged in click on the following link:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/user_v...

4. What you’ll see is a bunch of different *lists* that I included some of my books in. Whether you choose to just do one list or all, here’s how to vote.

A. Click on the list theme that’s underneath my book/books (Example for one of the lists: *Way Better than I thought they would be*)

B. Look in the upper right hand corner of the page. You should hopefully see some text that says “Vote on this List” or something similar. Click on that.

C. Above all of those books you should see some text that says “Add Books to this List.” Click on that.

D. Then you should have a way to type in/search for any book title you want to vote on for that list.

E. Search for one of my books! (Or one at a time if you plan to do more than one)

F. Click on Vote next to my book!
G. Aaaand...repeat if you plan to do more than one list.

I know, it sounds complicated, but it’s really not once you figure it out.

Overall, it’s a really good way for all of us starving authors to get some much needed help getting our hard work noticed. If things have a lot of votes, they’re more likely to be looked at. Strength in numbers, you know? :)
