PENNY WEBSTER-SCHOLTEN, FUHS 1958

Hello
Everyone:
My little booklet has just been launched on Amazon, and I wanted you to know in case anyone asks where they can find it. Though my Amazon web page indicates only two copies, several more are available. Perhaps it's their way of making it sound scarce? Who knows? At any rate, it's fun to have it listed. For those of you who have the original, stapled copies, it is now a THIN paperback of 32 pages (even though Amazon says 25), which makes it seem more like a book (sort of). I've been told it's a fun read and full of adventure---and it's a true story!
For those of
you who are just hearing about it for the first time, the title is:
"Flirting
With Danger: Hiking the Grand Canyon the Wrong Way."
It's a memoir about my hiking the Grand Canyon
with three friends after graduating from high school in 1958, and we truly did
it the wrong way. In addition, one more short chapter has been
added, describing a follow-up hike in 2010.
Even though it was first published in 2008, it is new
to Amazon so no reviews have yet been received by them--therefore, if you
feel so inclined, feel free to express your thoughts on their site (www.Amazon.com), and you can do it anonymously! It
can be found from the search box by either entering
"Webster-Scholten" or the book title.
Prior to this launch, sales have been
ongoing throughout Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, and copies
have traveled as far as Canada, Australia, and who knows where else.
Hearing from people in such faraway places has been an exciting bonus.
Another bookseller also has one of the original,
stapled copies listed for sale on Amazon, but he has raised the price
exorbitantly. I'm keeping my listing at the original price of $7.95.
Tell your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and anyone else you think may be
interested either for themselves or to use as gifts.
And be sure to have yourselves a thrilling,
adventurous, and safe New Year.
