    THANKS FOR THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE!
    ALL books have been shipped--one set per requestor (as long as they lasted) so as to "share the wealth!"
    *
    I have retired from my position as a university Theatre Educator and cleared my office shelves of the many books that informed my practice and writing over the years. I believe that these books are valuable to current students, researchers, and practitioners, so my offer here is to ship sets of them (free of charge to U.S. addresses) to interested responders.
    So, please take a look at the attached photos and respond privately if you are interested:
    • List the numbers of the stack of books you would like in order of your preference.
    • Then include your name and address.
    I will then distribute the books accordingly and notify recipients.
    I will also update this post regarding availability.
    Hoping that these contributions to our field reach new and enthusiastic users instead of ending up in a landfill.
    Rosalind

    I have gotten a set of lovely positive responses to my offer, so I'll be notifying recipients soon. These books are no longer available, but I may be posting more soon!

    Thanks,

    Rosalind

    Another Note: I have been trying to respond to some requestors via email, but I cannot figure out how to do so via this Callboard site. (Maybe it's me, but...)

    So, if you responded before noon on May 19 and you have not heard from me, please email me directly: RMCFlynn@aol.com

    Rosalind,

    First, best wishes on whatever replaces all the time you have spent nurturing new theatre educators. Well done!

    I'm pleased to see my book, Real-World Theatre Education, among pile 3.

    Since you know the book, I'd appreciate it if you would weigh in on my plan to change its subtitle from the rather generic one (~...growing a program..) to something that does a better job clarifying its contents.
    What do you think of these options?
    (I'm not replying privately since I'm happy for others to vote, too)

    Title: Real-World Theatre Education

    A - "Survival Tactics for Navigating School Politics, Logistics and Culture"
    B - "Navigating School Politics, Logistics and Culture"
    C - "Guide to School Politics, Paperwork and Program Survival"
    D - "The Essential Guide to School Politics, Paperwork and Program Survival"

    Thanks!,
    Chip
