Wehner Book, Bier und Brot

Most, but not quite all, the free copies I promised those who provided information, photos, etc, have gone out. Several people have asked about purchasing copies. I do have a number of extras, but I must admit the price is rather steep. The actual printing price was $43.03 per book. The postage to send a book by media mail (what was called at one time "Book Rate") is $3.88 per book. The USPS packaging envelopes are $1.89. That makes the actual cost for printing and mailing $48.80 per book. I am charging $50 per book to make up for a little of the other publishing and shipping costs (cost of software to prepare files for printer, processing of some photos for printing, labels, tape, etc.).

Delivered

200 lbs of books, Bier und Brot, the Wehners of Southeast Missouri, just arrived by FedEx from the publishers an hour ago. I have to figure out where to put the boxes. It will take a few weeks to get copies to those I promised a book.

Printed

The book is printed and ready to bind. I'll keep you posted.

Done! Done! Done!

Bier und Brot

The Wehners of Southeast Missouri

Robert E. Tapscott

The book went to the printers today. Those who I promised free copies should receive a book in the next couple of months. If you don't, let me know. And please stay in touch.

Pause due to Recent Contacts

Two people, one a descendant of Anna Margaret Wehner (daughter of John George and Theresa Vaeth) and the other familiar with some descendants of Frederick William Becker Sr. (son of Amalia Wehner) and Rosella Kelley, have contacted me. I am holding up printing until I have a chance to see what contributions they may have.

Printing Delay

Having a little trouble electronically transmitting Bier und Brot to the printers. Nothing at all serious. I will keep you posted.

Done!

It's done! Fertig! Fini! Bier und Brot is going to the printers, but unfortunately not for about a month. Mary Frances and I will be absent off and on during the next few weeks and I don't want books to arrive and sit on our doorstep, even if for only a few hours until found by our house sitter. Those of you promised copies will receive them in a couple of months. Meanwhile, watch this site to find when the printing is started and finished.
