       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.

388.24Will try to get infoMISFIT::EPSTEINJMon Jul 13 1987 09:5711
       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.

388.26No Discount AvailableMISFIT::EPSTEINJMon Jul 20 1987 09:498
       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.
