I prepared this as an ad for my firm, Signature Art Medals. As I promised a group of my author-friends -- including Harry Waterson, Jeff Shevlin, Bill Hyder, John Dean and Bill Swoger -- I would help sell their medal books.
I will be glad to be shipping clerk for two weeks only. That should fulfill my promised obligation. If, however, you read this after July 4, 2012, or want to pay by credit card or PayPal send your order to Signature Art Medals, Box 920, Groton, MA 01460 or signatureartmedals@charter.net
