MDMC01 Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 I just read about the delay and I'm still very much looking forward to it! I just hope to get all the other books I plan to read done before it's out lol. But even if I don't, I'm still planning to buy it whenever it comes out! 2 Quote

It may have been delayed, but the final book is going to be way better than if it was still following the original timeline. 2 Quote

I recommend calling some bookstores. The one I worked for enjoyed having local authors promoting their work in the stores. The current situation might affect such things, but you should still give them a call. Community art and activity centers might be accommodating , as well. 1 Quote

I interviewed multiple people at both the park and corporate levels and they have been very supportive of the book. But the merchandise director has the final say, and although he said he was interested, I haven't heard back from him since January. Quote

Thabto Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 This is great news! I just picked up the Cedar Point 150 Years: The Fun is Just Beginning book. I was thinking it would be awesome if there was a Kings Island book. 2 Quote

The standard retail price would have been $17.95 for a physical copy. However, that deal fell through, so I’m not sure what it will end up being. I will say that there are several parties that are currently interested. 5 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Might want to try Cincinnati Book Publishing as well if you haven't. They've published several local history books (Good Samaritan Hospital, the old Terrace Plaza Hotel, etc.) so they might be interested, especially given that they're local. 1 Quote
