The PT "book" project?

**RICHARD** · 01-26-2010, 01:00 AM

I will start the books by sending them out and putting a few dollars in for the next person to use as postage, Then they can donate towards the next person's postage, I think a 4-5 dollars would do?

If the postage is less maybe the person hosting can pitch in the difference to keep the envelope at the 4-5 dollar level, to keep the package going?

I will paste an envelope at the back for the money-Maybe just bills, no coins?

I also thought about having people post on the thread the order of wanting to host it. Would anyone object to starting out in the order that people posted on the thread?

Are their any Europe/overseas people who would want to host it, that way we can assure they get a chance to contribute?

There are 200 pages in each book I was thinking of maybe 3-4 pages alloted per person?

I think I was overthinking the whole process.

The less I think about it the more fun it will be?

Sounds cool to me Richard, I'll be in that for sure.
Maybe if it comes to Australia for instance, then it should be sent on to all the other Aussies in the scheme whilst it's here....and then on to Europe to be done by all Europeans for instance....and so on and so on....

I would also like to participate in this project!

Wombat i think it is a great idea too,but i think it would get to costly for me to particpate and perhaps others in Europe etc, the cost of postage is outrageous these days, hey but have fun everyone ,sounds a very cool idea.

I would be interested in participating. I know there's some other PT'ers in Tennessee.

I was trying to think of anything to add that would contribute to the whole idea, but I'm not coming up with anything currently. I think the postage idea where everyone contributes towards the next person's postage is good though. This is a brilliant idea

I think if some folks could 'overcontribute' a bit, especially if they are sending the book to the overseas person, that would help. Postage within that country or region...if you know the person you are sending it to is a bit hard up, send the postage for two shippings.

Just a thought.

No probs....I'll be in that.

**Roxyluvsme13** · 01-27-2010, 05:16 PM

Should we compile a list of what order the book goes in then? And maybe make a list of the date when it will be shipped out, or when it should be shipped out I should say. I like organization

**robinh** · 01-27-2010, 05:58 PM

This sounds like so much fun!

**RICHARD** · 01-27-2010, 07:03 PM

Captain, Carole and Wom,

I have a second book that I was thinking of sending out to the Foreign Lands.

Maybe you Aussies first, then maybe we can coordinate the Europe contingent????

(Captain, I'll take the book next door and rub it all over the pit bull that lives there-that will scare 'em?)

------------------------

Roxy, I am going to list the people as the responded to the thread. I think that's fair and gives everyone a chance to think about what the want to do. I am hoping that everyone can turn the book around in 3-4 days?

Let's see how things go?

So, whenever it's our turn for the book the previous person will PM for our address and then we have 3-4 days after we receive the book to do whatever in it? That works!
