Replies .2 to .21 to this note consist of most of the book,
"20 Bicycle Tours in the Finger Lakes" by Roth and Walters.
My wife, who works in a book store, has met one of the authors,
Mark Roth. Mark is not a big corporation. He is a guy who loves
to travel by bike. He raises money for his travels by writing
books such as this one. It is published by a small (vanity?)
publisher and Mark personally travels around and peddles (no pun
intended) his book to stores. The latter does not mean
autograph parties, it means persuading the store's owner to carry
a few copies of the book.
To be fair to the authors, I think the replies to this note taken
from Roth and Walters' book should be replaced with a summary of
the book's contents and information about where to buy it.

Deal.
Bikecentennial recently claimed the book was out-of-print.
Where is it still available?

| About two months ago, Mark Roth tried to sell his book to the
bookstore where my wife works. Apparently, the fourth edition
had just come out.
All my wife can remember is that the book was published in
Vermont. She promised to try to look up the appropriate
information. I'll post it here.

The owner of Rock Bridge Books informed me that he does not
get his expected markup from Backcountry Publications.
So he is withdrawing his 10% discount offer. You can still
order the tour book from Rock Bridge Books at the regular price.
