October 31, 2017 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Mr. Z.;
Especially enjoyed the brief ‘behind-the-scene’ snippet in the intro for the 2nd clip!
>There must be a fun story (or two,) on how you and JB do your segments.
Have you ever had a chance to do anything in-studio with JB? (I realize its cross-country and all.)
And… when is C-Span Book TV, going to cover your new book!! (Whoops, they only do non-fiction.)
Any Author-Events at local/regional bookstores, on the horizon!?
How ’bout a limited-edition print version? (or even better… the Graphic Novel.)
Wayne: I was surprised by the intro. It was very clever, and I will thank John and his audio maven Nick for doing it.
I have done one in-studio appearance with Batchelor, many years ago.
As for Pioneer, for there to be appearances and book deals and even a graphic novel, I need to sell a lot more books. That gets the right attention.
Great stuff– highly enjoy any behind-the-scene snippets. ( Makes it more real in a way.)
pivoting…
“Meet comic book artist & author Paul Rivoche”
(he did the graphic version of Amity Schlaes “The Forgotten Man.”)

I actually knew some people who bought the comic book right’s to Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminati Trilogy in the late ’80’s. They were 3 whacky, pagan, capitalist, new-age dopers, for the most part. (Bing Bang Theory gone bad types.) It was more than they could handle long-term (and the market for Indie Titles had collapsed in general at the time) but they did produce 3 issues. (10K print-runs, they sold maybe 1/3.)
If I was 30 years younger, I’d jump on Pioneer, http://behindtheblack.com/books/pioneer/
There’s still good money in small high-quality niche publishing. (I buy a lot of reprint/compilation material from obscure publishers with miniscule print-runs.)
National Geographic Magazine has become nothing more than a global warming scare rag in the last decade. My father finally canceled his subscription 7 years ago. A very sad day, because I grew up learning from that magazine and the wonderful photos. It is now, like many publications, a propaganda piece for the left.
