Scott, I'd be interested in a bit more information about this. How does
one collect all of the information, newsletters, etc? Many a grotto or
IO editor begs and pleads for information, so hopefully the Speleo
editors don't have to do the same. How big is a typical Digest (I just
ordered my first), I'd never heard of this book :)
Sorry for all of the questions :/

NSS Needs You and a couple of good pals

The Speleo Digest is the one of the most popular books the NSS
publishes, and certainly the most unusual. You've probably got at
least one on your bookshelf. If you don't, then why not? The Speleo
Digest showcases the best in caving articles, artwork, humor, prose
and cartoons from an entire year's worth of grotto newsletters. This
is by far the best way for you to keep up with developments in caving
around the nation and even the globe.
But.....we've come to a standstill. No editors.
I'm looking for editors for future Speleo Digest issues. Yes, it is a
bunch of work, and producing an issue will occupy your time for many
months -- BUT it is a fun and interesting project (I know -- I've
worked on or edited five issues) and not to mention you will get in
touch with a lot of cavers around the country, and your name will be
on the cover of a book. Naturally, you could do it yourself, but it
would make a great grotto project with three or four dedicated members
helping you out.
Each Editor is responsible for selecting articles and other items to
be included in the Speleo Digest, gathering the articles, graphics,
photos, and what not, and producing the books final manuscript. The
Series Editor is there to help and guide you as well as overseeing
publishing of the book once the manuscript has been completed. Of
course you may delegate tasks to a committee of assistants.
Interested? Got the time, a computer, and an aptitude for desktop
publishing? Willing to round up and lead a production team utilizing
some of your caver buddy's? Please contact me! Scott Fee

Don't let the 2003 issue be the last Speleo Digest ever. We need
your help!
