Subject: UFOs 1947-1997: Fifty Years of Flying Saucers

Dear List:

Please pardon this commercial interlude while wondering whatever happened to
Ed Komarek and the search for glacier-buried alien skeletons...hey, are we
due an update or whut?

Writing in the Summer 1997 issue of IUR, the International UFO Reporter,
editor Jerry Clark called it "the best UFO book, so far, of 1997," which is
high praise, indeed, considering that this has been The Year of the UFO Book.

In an equally glowing review in Fortean Times #101, Andy Roberts said that
"the names here represent the cream of the serious ufological crop and
whether you choose to believe them or not, these people know what they are
talking about." But FT *would* like it, wouldn't they? Hell, they published
the damned thing.

Need another endorsement? While sweating through the Roswell UFO Encounter
'97, I dropped by the International UFO Museum and Research Center on Main
Street, thinking (rather naively, as it turned out) that they might want to
carry UFOs 1947-1997 among the many other wares sold at their very busy gift
ship. Whoops on my part! Turns out I'd apparently said something bad about
the museum's present president, never mind that the book buyer told me that
they "wanted to present both sides of the issue." But apparently not this
side. In short, no sale--all because of one paragraph out of a 272-page
book. And they accuse the Air Force of censorship.

Their loss, however, is your gain. As it so happens, I co-edited UFOs
1947-1997: Fifty Years of Flying Saucers with Hilary Evans. I also bought
the print overrun from the English publisher, which has just arrived, and so
am now able to offer copies of this handsome, illustrated hardback for
$27.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Make checks or money orders payable
to Dennis Stacy, PO Box 12434, San Antonio, Texas 78212.

Contrbutors include me, Evans, Clark, Chris Rutkowski, Kenneth Arnold,
Jacques Vallee, Col. Hector Quintanilla, Richard F. Haines, Patrick Huyghe,
Michael Swords, Jenny Randles, John Rimmer, Cynthia Hind, Jim Moseley, Karl
Pflock, Bill Chalker, Jan Aldrich, Robert Durant, Ray Fowler, David Perkins,
Marc Hallet, Wim Van Utrecht, Vladimir Rubtsov, Anders Liljegren,
Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and the proverbial "others," thirty all total.

In other words, it's a global look at the last 50 years of a very perplexing
phenomenon, one sure to have something to intrigue and/or offend everyone.

And following Moseley's lead: ask for an autograph and I'll knock off a dollar.

[Kaa-ching! Uh, Dennis. Lessee..... per single spot rate for a
 one time run on UpDates..... hmmm, {looks at rate card}.....
 ah, here we are..... US$30.95. So, that works out to one
 copy, autographed to 'Errol & Sue' (with usual complimentary
 comments about 'The List' and other warm-fuzzies, etc.)
 postage paid to the address on the card I gave you in Roswell.
 Or, of course, one international money order (in US Dollars) in
 said amount, instead. We'd also be happy to runs spots for The
 Anomalist _and_ Patrick's new book (provided the artwork is good).
