Kindles are okay but nothing beats a 3D book that can be flicked through, book marked and references found quickly. But yes, in terms of postage it is 100% better. I still think Kindle book prices are too much though.
Nice to hear it is being covered on Black Op radio.

I'm thinking of buying an e-reader soon. I prefer printed volumes but as of late have been grabbing various JFK-9/11-Deep Politics volumes at the cheaper e-book rate (and reading them via Kindle for Mac on my home computer) to save myself money and shelf space for titles I might only read once. McBride's work looks like a substantial effort that I'm keen to dig deep into, so I'll be grabbing the print version of that one.
I forgot to mention that Skyhorse also have a much cheaper edition of HEAR NO EVIL by Donald Byron Thomas arriving on Amazon the first week of September. I think Skyhorse have acquired nearly all the Mary Ferrell Press volumes and are reprinting them in less expensive editions.
Just started listening to the first Black Op Radio interview with JMcB. It's very good. They have a second already up, and two more interviews apparently forthcoming.

Thank you to those who have expressed interest in an ebook (Kindle) edition
of my book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS
OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT. The ebook edition will indeed be coming along soon.
Often in publishing the ebook comes a while after the print
edition. I appreciate your patience. The print edition, meanwhile,
is doing very well via Amazon.com.
Tonight (August 8) I will be doing the third of four interviews
with Len Osanic on his Black Op Radio, blackopradio.com. We will be going
into detail about the murder of Officer Tippit, who he was,
and what really happened to him. The interviews on Len's
excellent program are archived.

I just filmed an interview for the upcoming feature film DALLAS IN WONDERLAND, which is scheduled to come out around the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the John F. Kennedy assassination this November. DALLAS IN WONDERLAND is about a documentary filmmaker who is hired by a TV network to make a film about the assassination and gets embroiled in some PARALLAX VIEWish/THREE DAYS OF THE CONDORish danger in the best tradition of those bold 1970s thrillers that drew from our nightmarish reality.
I am one of the historians and other experts on the assassination who are in the DALLAS IN WONDERLAND documentary film-within-the-film, which will also be released in its complete form as a DVD extra. The filmmakers really know their subject matter -- including director/co-writer Ryan Page and documentary cowriters and coproducers Joseph Green and James Page. They've assembled a solid list of interviewees and want the film to be right up to date in terms of research discoveries about the case, including those in my new book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT. Among the others interviewed already include Jim DiEugenio, Dick Russell, and Dr. David Mantik.

Mr. McBrides interviews at Black Op Radio are top notch.
The info on Tippit is fascinating. Really makes you wish you could access phone records from 1963 to see who JD was calling from the Top Ten Record shop just minutes before his life ended.
The fact that he was a crack shot with a gun also raises some very interesting possibilities.

Steve - please read the thread and Joseph McBride's book carefully.
To my mind, the evidence presented does not establish that Tippit was a good enough marksman to have been entrusted by the Facilitators with a shooting part in the assassination of an American President.

Additionally we all take issue at this point with the entire Badge Man concept, given its origin together with trying to "see" what you want to "see" in the many fuzzy photographs.
That said, a disagreement with an author on one matter does not mean we begin an attack on said author, or that on balance the book does not offer a great amount of valuable contributions.
I wish Tosh would weigh in how how good a shot Tippit was. Another question I can't ask Jay Harrison who knew Tippit well and could tell us what kind of shot he was.
I am also not convinced that the killers would risk having a Dallas cop be a shooter. There are MANY hired guns who could have served this purpose.

Wow I'm really sorry if i am wrong about Tippit being a good shot. But i just listened to Mr McBrides interview about his new book on Black Op radio yesterday and Im almost sure he stated that when he interviewed Tippits father he specifically said that his son was an excellent shot.
But i make no claims about being infallible. Maybe I didn't understand the interview properly. My sincere apologies if i am wrong.

I didn't mean to say that Badge man is a proven fact. I am totally on the fence about that and not convinced either way. Once again i apologize. You guys are way more professional and qualified than me and nobody should consider me the voice of authority.
Im just a guy that became really interested in the jfk assassination 28 years ago.

I just rechecked the the 8/8/2013 interview with Mr. McBride over at Black Op Radio and at approximately the 56:50 mark he does say that Tippits father said his son was a "great" shot.
I make no other claims about Badge man or Tippit being one of the shooters.
