Is anyone here a part of Jim's effort to save the PIP?
If so... private message me, Jim and I were working together for awhile.

Yes, what's the deal, as I understand it someone bought the building and was gonna have a eatery on the first floor and would rent an upper floor to J.V.

it is up for sale. a salem, oh coffee shop was interested in leasing but the cs stepped back from the deal until pip's financial legal problems are solved.

Thanks iwt for the update. Jim is very skilled at binding ... I know, because it wasn't easy to bind my manuscript. It's too bad that he couldn't have published it, but I ran into a roadblock on Vol. 1 due to lack of funds to pay for rights to use the material that was in that volume. The other nine volumes were good to go, but without the first volume, the rest wouldn't have made sense.

I started work on the book way back in the early 1990's using a Commodore 64 and finally finished it using a real computer ... a Packard Bell, and several other PC's. Indexed the book and everything. It's a shame that no one will be able to read it because it really give a good insight into the early history of the city and some of its characters over a 100 year time span.

I don't plan to get rid of it, but if I were I'd ask no less that $300.00 for the ten volumes, and a bargain at that.

pip published a book this past Summer. i cannot recall the book's name or author. i witnessed jv bind  every book in this order personally, painstaking and time consuming in my opinion.

Question:

When was the last time that Pig Iron Press actually "published" a book? It is suppose to be a publishing house, or at least that was what it use to be. It seems that today all that it is, is a social club for poets, not that that is bad, and a copy center trying to compete with larger copy centers.

They do a good job at binding manuscripts, because they bound my ten volume manuscript on the story of Youngstown's first 100 years at a very reasonable price considering that each volume contained about 500 pages each.
