Betsy McCall – A Collector’s Guide was published in December 1999. By March of 2002 all 8,000 copies had been sold and it was officially out of print.
An updated, revised edition was in the works but my publisher, Hobby House Press, went out of business and the original plates were destroyed.
I have just a few copies of my original book left. They are in mint, unused condition and are smoke-free.
I will autograph it upon request. All proceeds from my book go towards our donkey rescue for the care and feeding of our longears.
