World Paintball Library’s Collector’s Guide New Edition
May 24, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
I just got word from Guy Cooper of ProStar Labs and the World Paintball Library. He’s bringing out a new edition of his Paintball Collector’s Guide book and has requested a copy of A PARENT’S GUIDE TO PAINTBALL so that he can summarize and include PGtP in that book.
Many of you may not know that Guy is a pioneer of the sport, opening one of the first nationwide distribution businesses and has become a major industry resource over the years.
Guy maintains the World Paintball Library that strives to collect everything in print, on tape and in images related to paintball, and particularly to paintball technology. His resources are frequently referenced by patent attorneys and the US Patent Office when looking for ‘prior art’ references.
I’m very pleased that Guy wants to include my book in the collector’s guide (I guess that means he expects it to be collectible!) and urge you to check out Mr. Cooper’s website The World Paintball Library.
Alternate Cover Designs

As promised in my post about the selection of the cover design, here are the other alternatives that were considered:
This one we ultimately used for the back cover. That player looks like he's having fun!
Just slightly different from the final design - note that the title is centered, rather than offset to the left.
What do you think? Did we pick the right one?
Friday, May 15th, is the Official Release Date for A Parent’s Guide to Paintball

Wow! We’re only one month - to the day - behind schedule! And that’s not bad at all when it comes to this kind of project.
The initial print run has been shipped to Kee Action Sports’ warehouses all across the country and we’re getting very excited anticipating Kee’s up-coming marketing blitz - dealers, get ready to place your orders.
This website will be turned on at the same time (or maybe a bit earlier) and I’ll be promoing the book here and on www.68Caliber.com, the news and information website I edit.
Don’t miss out on a chance to obtain a first edition printing of this first-ever book devoted to educating and informing the parents of paintballers!
If you are in the paintball retail business - head on over to Kee Action Sports and place your order now!
If you have questions - by all means - post them in the Q&A section. I’ll regularly be answering them here.
If you want to get a good idea of what this book is all about, head on over to the book page - I’ve made excerpts from every single chapter available right here!
