About the Public Domain Blog
I love the process of creativity and innovation, and as a result, am intensely curious and ask a lot of questions. I enjoy research and exploration…alternate ways of seeing, thinking and being.
My mother’s family is Cherokee and I love and appreciate my heritage. My family and I dance at powwows and walk the Red Road to the best of our ability.
Workwise, I am an entreprenuer, speaker and author and own a media company that specializes in using Public Domain works to create new, hybrid information products in a wide variety of forms, including ebooks, printed materials, audio, video and more. I also am an expert in photography and graphic design.

Hi Tony,
When usng public domain material how do you format a book when it is scanned? For example if a book is 5 x 7″ do you format the content to 8 1/2 x 11? Also what font do you prefer? Thank you! Kay

Hi Tony,
can you confirm if your PDX support site is still monitored. I’ve logged a ticket but, other than what I assume to be an automated response, I’ve had no reply – and an earlier email sent to you came back with a ‘Mailbox full’ message.

Hi Tony,
An echo here from Lawrence’s post.
I’ve had the toolbar for a couple of years, but lost it when I had my hard drive “cleansed.” Now I can’t reload it. Firefox won’t except it.
Appreciate some assistance. Tried to get help through support,but I long ago lost my user and pass, so it’s no go on the ol’ support-o.

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question… but I couldn’t find a way to start a new discussion. I am a beginning graphic artist. I am starting to sell my stuff at street fairs and on the internet. What would be a good middle priced ($200-$600) printer for me? I am mainly looking for reliability and quality.

…I meant to add that alot of what I am selling is old vintage images that are in the public domain.

Hello, I was trying to comment on the article “book-sale-survival-guide “ but I received an error page.
Here is the comment I wanted to make
Hello, I wanted to let you know about our new site (booksalemanager.com) that is also a book sale directory. Our site is cleaner than other options out there and information is easier to find.
You can use the zip code search feature to find sales that are in your area. Also you can sign up for an account to store sales to your own personal calendar and or sign up for email notifications when a new sale is listed in your zip code radius.
I hope this helps book lovers find more sales in their area that they might not of know of before.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me

Hey Audrey…I’m not sure what your interests are, but the easiest way to begin is to use one of the free blogging services. Wordpress.com, Blogger.com and Wetpaint.com are probably the best examples. Squidoo.com is also an option…their lenses are a lot like blogs. Next, if you’re planning to sell your own products, you will need a Paypal Business Account (also free). They offer great tutorials on how to create a Buy button for products you’re selling. For selling other people’s products as an affiliate, you may want to check out Clickbank.com, e-Junkie.com or Paydotcom.com. Commission Junction (cj.com) is also an option.
I’ve actually created a couple videos that explain the entire process in great, step-by-step detail in my “Step-by-Step Info Products” Subscribers-Only site (http://stepbystepinfoproducts.com). There is nearly 40 hours of step-by-step, how-to videos there that walk you through those processes and a whole lot more. Hope this helps!

Oh, goodie. Copyright police are going to sweep the web. Let’s see how long until they try to protect the PD part of someone’s reused PD work.

We have nothing to worry about!

Hi Tony,
I’m enjoying your site, but I don’t know which of your products to choose! Can you advise on the differences or targets for your codebook v.1 and codebook v.2 and “explained” course? or if the toolbar is self-explanatory enough? I can’t get everything of course
Looking forward to your information.

Tony, last year I bought the PD Profit Centers package and just now tried to log into the “elite membership vault” but cannot retrieve my log-in, password, etc. Can you help? Thanks.
