Dear Friends,
with
Scott &
Lee's permission (thanks fellas!
) and in conjunction with our sister
Hornet Forum over at
THE CAVE Board, we will be
alternating a monthly drawing from
Sept to
Dec to give away FREE new Hornet books (
signed by the authors) to
four lucky fans/members!
This "official" book (authorized by
GH Inc) is titled
The Green Hornet and will be available in
Jan of 2010, click
HERE for info.
The authors are
Martin Grams (
mmargrajr on the boards, click
HERE for his site) and
Terry Salomonson who is an OTR (Old Time Radio) expert, see his site
HERE. A big THANK YOU goes out to them for agreeing to this neat giveaway!
As described on the site above, the $30 softbound book is 6" x 9" in size, 800+ pages thick with over 100 B&W vintage photos. It will document the history of the radio shows, movie serials, TV series, and comic books with featured plots for every radio program, bios on the cast, behind-the-scenes stories, etc.
The book is currently up on
amazon, see
THIS LINK. You can also order directly from Martin's
Hornet Book Page which offers FREE SHIPPING on all pre-publication orders worldwide until 12:01am on 1/31/10.
In my dealings with Martin Grams I have found him to be a very nice, trustworthy young man. He has kindly showed me advance peeks of some of the Hornet chapters and I must say that I was impressed with the contents of those sample chapters. He has amassed a plethora of information based on
intensive research and many vintage documents, letters, etc. His book details are not based on assumptions, but on FACTS.
To give you an idea of the level of detail & book format, check out the page samples/info from his previous award-winning tome
HERE and
HERE. By the way, every penny Martin made from his TWILIGHT ZONE book went to charity, and his lovely wife
Michelle has raised a lot of money for various charities as well, bless their generous hearts!
Anywho, enough with the promotional plugs, let's get to the
giveaway drawing details, haha!
The drawings will alternate between both Hornet Forums in our boards for the next 4 months:
The Cave Board:
September 2nd &
November 2nd 1966 Batman Board:
October 2nd &
December 2nd All current members
in good standing (USA & International) are eligible, just make ONE POST in this thread to enter, and if you are already a member you can make a post in BOTH communities to double/quadruple your chances of winning!
Myself,
TonyMoe,
Karl/V194,
Scott Sebring,
Lee Kirkham &
David Sutton will be exempt from the giveaway.
The drawings will take place by 3pm Eastern on the above dates, and in a very "high-tech" manner the winning names will be picked at random by yours truly from a fedora!
The winners will be posted here and contacted via PM/emails. Martin will personally ship the books out to the lucky fans after the books are published/available during the week of January 31, 2010.
OK gang, let's show folks how many HORNET fans there are - come one, come ALL, good luck & have FUN!
