Let us know about your book DF. Is it going to be a book of tributes and recollections from fans? DF Genna emailed me saying she was writting a book about Ruffin titled "Good Stuff". She wanted the help of people that knew Ruffin. I didn't know she was writing one about The Tempts. Yes, DF keep us update about your book! Also please have more than a half page of written testimonial ‘good stuff’ about DER, not a book of pictures.

Drex, The only way Genna will be able to get her book in the media is to solicitate from fans. And where are DER fans at on the message boards professing their undying love for him. I don't see any other way. She didn't solicitate the fans to get her first book in the media. Are we talking about fans "professing their undying love" or close friends and fans who had relationships and fond experiences with Mr. David and posted? Maybe I do not understand.

The second book is fan base right, I thought so,, I could be wrong. On to the second question: I was using myself as an example sorry.. No one else..

I don't see any other way. QNew I agree. I really can't see anybody that "knew" Ruffin sharing anything with her. What kind of book can she write with "fans" recollections? There are millions of people that saw him perform. But how well will a book of reviews about his performances sell? I don't think it is beneath her to go on these websites and use other people's stories to make herself a Profit.

Drex,
Her second book is call the "Good Stuff" I would think she will have to peruse the messages boards to get her information..
Like I said I might be wrong. It will not be the first time.

The email I recieved was requesting people that "knew" Ruffin to share their memories with her. My understanding was she wanted "friends" of Ruffin to give her material for her book. I wish I might!!!!

Also, we are talking about DER the book can go in different directions and still be entertaining.

JMO I believe in Freedom of Speech too. Stealing and printing others words and or thoughts is not Freedom of Speech. I agree the materials should be obtained legally. But Genna is "honorable" so surely she wouldn't "steal" and "print" others memories.

JMO I also believe in freedom of speech but, do you want your words in someone book for profit with out your permission?? However, if she get permission from people who "knew" David Genna write your book..

Of course I am being quite "Facetious". Because I believe she would take somebody's words without permission.
