[Texascavers] new AMCS CDs, Maya Symposium

NEW AMCS CDs

The Association for Mexican Cave Studies has made two new CDs of  
material previously sold as photocopy reprints. The demand for the  
printed versions has decreased to the point where the effort of making  
them was not worthwhile, and the CD versions can be sold much more  
cheaply.  The CDs contain page scans in PDF files, including separate  
PDF files for color plates or large maps. The pages are in the files  
as graphic images, so the text is not searchable. Each of the  
following CDs is only $3 (plus shipping).


AMCS Activities Newsletters 1-10 (1975-1979). Total over 400 pages.  
Paper copies were sold for a total of $54.


AMCS Reprints 4 and 5, "Las Cavernas de Cerro Grande" and "Las  
Cavernas de la Sierra Gorda" by Carlos Lazcano. Total about 550 pages.  
Paper copies were sold for a total of $55.


Further info about these book, including tables of contents, can be  
found at amcs-pubs.org. Order from AMCS, PO box 7672, Austin, Texas  
78713, or by e-mail using the PayPal button at the bottom of the "how  
to order" page at that web site. Shipping charge: US $3 first CD, $1  
each additional. Foreign $4 each CD.


TULANE MAYA SYMPOSIUM ON MAYA CAVES AND CENOTES

The following is a reminder about that symposium being held next month  
in New Orleans. If anyone is planning to attend and willing to deal  
with selling AMCS publications along the lines suggested below, please  
contact both sa...@amcs-pubs.org (Bill Mixon) and f...@tampabay.rr.com  
(Gabrielle Vail). Note that time is short for getting a supply of book  
to New Orleans, so I need to know soon whether there will be actual  
sales or just a display. Garbielle's message follows:


I'm writing to inquire whether anyone from your association is  
planning to attend the Tulane Maya Symposium next month (February  
15-17) in New Orleans.  Our theme is "Sacred Cenotes, Hidden Caverns:   
Rituals and Everyday Life Relating to Caves and Cenotes among the  
Maya."  For more information about the program, please see our  
website:  http://stonecenter.tulane.edu/MayaSymposium/.


We are interested in offering several of your publications for sale at  
the symposium and wanted to check with you about how best to do this.   
If one of your members is attending, perhaps they would be interested  
in manning a table during the breaks.  If not, then we could order  
several copies of each publication for display and have an order form  
available.


Thanks for being in touch about this.  We look forward to hearing from  
you and hope to see you in New Orleans next month.


Warm wishes,
Gabrielle Vail, Executive Organizer
Fifth Annual Tulane Maya Symposium and Workshop

[Texascavers] new AMCS CDs

2008-01-14 Thread Mixon Bill
I will have at the UT Grotto meeting Wednesday night for their first  
public sale two new CDs available from the Association for Mexican  
Cave Studies. These CDs contain PDFs made from page scans of things  
that were previously available on paper but are out of print or  
selling slowly at the higher paper prices. The CDs are $3 each.


AMCS Activities Newsletters 1-10, covering the period 1975-1979.   
Approximately 400 pages. Paper copies totaled $54.


AMCS Reprints 4 and 5, Carlos Lazcano's books "Las Cavernas de Cerro  
Grande" and "Las Cavernas de la Sierra Gorda. Total 538 pages. Paper  
copies totaled $55.


I'll also have a few copies of Carl Kunath's "50 Years of Texas  
Caving" for $50 cash or check (written to Carl Kunath). This will be  
the last meeting I'll take copies of that to except on specific  
request, because they're heavy to haul around. -- Bill Mixon
