You Might Be Getting OLD If . . .

Redesigned, Republished as eBook

The second edition of the popular 200 Sure-Fire, Lead-Pipe-Cinch, No-Question-About-It Ways To Tell If . . .You Might be Getting OLD!, by senior humorist and author Michael Garee, has been completely redesigned and republished as an eBook.

Garee’s book was inspired by comedian Jeff Foxworthy’s “You Might Be a ‘Redneck’ If . . .” series of books and other publications. It was also dedicated to Foxworthy and favorably reviewed by the famous comedian.

The new eBook is available NOW for immediate purchase and download on this site, at  www.youmightbegettingoldif.com and at other popular sites throughout the Web, for the reduced price of $9.99. (The first edition in paper back is priced at $11.50)

The first edition of You Might Be Getting OLD If . . .was published in paper back last year and has been a “top 100” seller in various humor and family categories a number of times on Amazon.com, the world’s largest book seller. (The first edition is still available through Amazon.com and most other major book retailers, both online and in many book stores.)

“I got involved in eBook publishing earlier this year when I helped a friend and former business colleague edit and publish his eBook,” Garee said. “I became quite excited about the dynamic possibilities offered by this relatively new mode of book publishing and decided I needed to apply this emerging technology to my own book.”

About one-third of the second edition eBook contains totally new material, i.e., “one-liners” about “getting old,” and the entire book is now in full color. The first edition paper back featured full color on the front and back covers only.

“Over the past year I have heard from many readers,” Garee said. “And they weren’t shy about telling me exactly what they liked—completewith suggestions to make the book even more enjoyable.”

Now the new  eBook publishing provides a flash of excitement not available through traditional publishing.

“With an eBook,  an author can literally make changes daily, even after the book is published, if he or she is so inclined,” Garee said. “All that’s required is to make edits or any other changes and then republish the digital document.

Garee said that, over the years, he has become much more environmentally conscious as well, which also was a driving factor in his considering eBook publishing for the second edition of his book.

 “I don’t consider myself a ‘tree-hugger’ by any stretch of the imagination,” he said, “but if we don’t start paying more and better attention to our environment, many parts of this planet could ultimately turn into a wasteland, particularly our forested areas. No tree has to be cut down to print an eBook.”

Garee’s new eBook is in Adobe^® Acrobat format and can easily be downloaded to a buyer’s computer, as long as he or she has Adobe^® Acrobat Reader installed on it (most computers today come with the program automatically installed). A FREE version of Adobe^® Acrobat Reader can be downloaded at www.adobe.com.

“A few people wondered about me publishing an eBook because they mistakenly believe ‘seniors’ still don’t feel all that comfortable with computers and new technology,” Garee said, “but that’s just plain nonsense, as far as I’m concerned.

"I am sixty-seven years old and I will match my computer knowledge and skills with anyone, of any age. And if I ever have a question about computers or any programs, guess whom I turn to? My sixty-nine-year-old computer ‘guru’ friend, who has literally forgotten more about computers and software than many younger people know! So there!”
