Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Find James and his books at www.jamesmitchelldouglas.ca!James (Jim) Douglas is a retired school teacher who lives in Enniskillen Township, Petrolia, Ontario. He lives with his wife Karen, who is also a retired teacher, as well as their youngest daughter. The couple also has four older children. Jim has always had a consuming love for the outdoors and to this day, continues to hunt, fish, trap and train hunting dogs.His first connection to writing creatively came in the 1960's when his English teacher told him he had a knack for writing. Although Jim was not a model student, the compliment always stayed with him. When he was eighteen he started to play the guitar and immediately began to write his own songs because it just seemed the natural thing to do. Over the years, other poems and writings were created.In the early 1980's, his first magazine article called "How I Train a Coon Dog" was published and when letters started coming in from all over North America, it had a very positive impact upon his life. The next article he wrote was in the late 1990's and it also was published. The 800 and some dollars he received for this one again was also a positive. Could it be true that his English teacher from long ago had been right?After retirement, he wrote the introduction of a story and read it to his friend, Wayne. The friend listened and then looked at him and said, "Great beginning. I want to hear the rest of the story. Write a book."The challenge was accepted and a few months later a novel called 'Vigliante Justice' was finished and the characters of Davie Meadows, Katrina, Barbara and Griz had been created. This book was followed up with a sequel called 'Sharpshooter: The Sins of Greed'. Jim continues to write, and more novels are on the horizon, soon to be published.As well as writing, Jim continues to train dogs, substitute teach, hunt, fish, trap and participate in the activities that the forests and streams offer up. He loves to teach others, especially his grandchildren, about the natural world he loves.
