Has anyone tried growing methods from the giant tomatoes book. I've used it as a study guide for my giant tomato plants and the way that the growers use their own way of producing the big tomatoes is extremely awesome to have a book like this. I highly recommend it for anyone who's growing giant tomatoes this year.

Since that book I have written an updated one with lots of new chapters. Unfortunately it costs so much to print and ship it that the price would be so prohibitive that it would not sell enough to break even. Books in general are not selling now.

Don Langevin looked at it and thought it was not the way to go. I could also self publish but that is not really a good option either. So we sit and wait as we have for over a year now.

Marv, I did a quick goggle search and found this company that will convert and publish your books. If you have it on your computer, you should be able to buy software to convert it to an E-Book. I hope you follow up on this, E-Books are so easy to use. I would recomend to list it on Amazon Kindle because even people without a Kindle can read the books from there. Another option is to put it on a CD and just sell them. Ebay would be a option for sales without having to deal with credit card companies.

Ragun, these companies are okay with the written part of a book but cannot handle images very well. I have a lot of pictures.
