PlEASE FORWARD 

North Star: A Memoir by Peter Camejo

Haymarket Books will be publishing Peter's memoir in February 2010. It is
already available for pre-order on Amazon.

Pre-order Peter's memoir on Amazon

Haymarket Books


Please do ask your local bookstore to carry this title. That will help the
wider distribution of Peter's book. 
 
 
DVD of the Memorial



The DVD of the Memorial is available. It is in three high quality dvd's. We
had thought that we might edit it, but that project was too time consuming.

Those that would like a copy should contact Peter's brother, Dan Ratner, at 

peterdvd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 
and he will give you further details. The dvd's will be essentially at cost
plus shipping, but the cost depends on how many people want the dvd set.
Because of the high quality, depending on the number of requests, they may
have to be commercially copied.


If you're interested in the dvd set, please let Dan know as soon as
possible.
 
 
More books by Peter

Here are three books by Peter that were made available at the Memorial. We'd
like to offer them here at the special price of $5.00 each, for those of you
who were unable to attend the Memorial or who neglected to get the books
there. Shipping will be a total of $3.00, no matter how many you buy.

We have larger quantities of some. For those who can use a quantity in their
political work, please let me know. We would like these books to get out,
and as you know political books often lose their topicality after a while.

Articles on the Memorial and on Peter

I am just realizing that we never sent out a report on the Memorial for
those of you that couldn't attend. Both the Memorial and the social
afterward were very well attended. Rather than doing something now, I will
offer some links to articles on the Memorial and on Peter. There were of
course many more.

Pictures of the Memorial 


Some of you that were able to attend the Memorial for Peter took pictures
there. We were unable to take any, and would love to have some. If you'd
like to share, please send them to

Thanks!
 
 
Facebook


Having recently joined Facebook, it looks like this may be another way to
spread the word about Peter's book. However we have very few Facebook
friends. But some of you have more friends there than the number of people
on this list! If you think it appropriate, please let your friends know
about Peter's memoir. If you want a link, this message will also be posted
to the blog we started for Peter, link below. Although the blog too won't
continue, it will be up for a while, so that those who would like to share a
link, or those who lose this email message, will have something to refer to.
