I don&#8217;t own\na single copy myself! The book has almost disappeared off rare book\nsites and I attribute that to the interest generated by the upcoming\nanniversary and the various events planned to commemorate the\nfestival this summer. I did a little check with some of my bookstore\nfriends in Oregon and discovered that a copy does exist at Gold Beach\nBooks for $75 plus shipping. Just google the bookstore and you&#8217;ll\nfind your way to the book and how to order. It has the CD of McCall&#8217;s\nVortex speech and the rocking album by Jacob&#8217;s Ladder. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was some hope that I was going to\npublish a follow-up to the book, called <em>The Victory of Vortex I,\n<\/em>that would have updated the\nstory, offered new insights, and included hundreds of new photos I\nreceived after the first book came out. I had secured a\ndonation from an Oregon printer to cover the printing cost for a\n2000-book run, but another entity that might have helped out with\nexpenses toward design, etc., well it didn&#8217;t work out. I wasn&#8217;t going\nto paid anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was too bad, because the new book\nwas going to be free, just like the original festival. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the 50th anniversary of Vortex I approaches, I have been receiving lots of messages and emails about the availability of my book, The Far Out Story of Vortex I, published in 2004 by Nestucca Spit Press.
