  The Birds of Northeast Tennessee
A tall stack of print paper stands 
waiting its turn on a shipping skid
before moving to the printing press.

This high quality, easy-on-the eye
paper has a great feel and a great
look.

In addition, it is well suited for the
130 color photographs, 9 black and
white photos, map, 12 tables and
four art drawings which appear.

 Birders will find 23 different photographers whose by lines appear throughout
 the pages of this Second Edition (the first edition was published in 1994).  
More
 than 3,000 photo images, slides and prints have been freely offered by regional
 photographers.  The editorial team never realized when we placed the first call
 for photos from photographers that the response would be so great.  

 We have photographs from the very best of the region's photographers in
 Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia.  All photos had to be taken in the
 five-county area of Northeast Tennessee which the book covers.

 This is not a photo or art contest.  It is sharing of great work from the best 
of the
 best in our region.  The historical photographs document many of the region's
 most rare species and are special.  

 At this hour,  probably close to 30 percent of the pages have been printed and 
the
 cover is finished and waiting.  The printers, who normally work Monday thru 
Friday,
 has scheduled to have their printing crew work during the coming weekend to
 assure they meet the BBC deadline.

 The printer offered BBC 30 days to 60 days to pay for the book, due to the 
very 
 expensive cost of printing such a project.  Only ten out of 50 pledges by 
birders
 have not been paid.  What amazing participation and dedication.

Today, the Bristol Bird Club received a book order and check from Nashville.  
Two 
previous orders have come from at least 400 miles away.

More than 20 libraries in Northeast Tennessee will have the book on their 
shelves.
The BBC Distribution Committee for the book has been surveying the major public
and college and university libraries.  Most are ordering multiple copies in 
order to
have the book in both their circulation collection as well as their reference 
collection.
ETSU, for example, has ordered books for those collections as well as the 
Archives
of Appalachia collection and their Kingsport Center library.  Some larger 
libraries
are getting several for branches such as in Kingsport and Bristol Avoca, for 
examples.
Some county libraries have branches getting books.
