Hi all,

Amark's family would like to extend their gratitude to all of you guys for offering as much support and condolences that you did during their difficult times. Amark talked about this community a lot. It was clear that you all were an important part of his life, and he held many of you in very high esteem. Not very many people can say they have genuine support and caring from others all around the globe, but you guys have definitely been there for Amark.

A book of his writings has been published, and is available here if anyone wants to buy it. His family is putting the proceeds towards a fund (which is currently being set up, will post details as they come).

Again, thanks to all of you for being such a big part of who he was.

Do you have any idea if the estimated 10-15 day wait prior to shipping would be reduced if a certain amount of people purchased it?

Either way, I just ordered. From the preview, it looked excellent. If I recall correctly, getting printed was one of Amark's major goals.

I think it's great you guys have put in the effort to get this printed. I've always loved to read his perspective on things because he held such an amazing conviction in everything he believed. Going to order it right now, can't wait to see what's in here.

that sounds like a gw joke, but a really awful one.

or maybe not -- he'd probably make it about himself.

I will try my hardest to buy this.

But out of curiosity what are the contents? How many of the writings are stuff we haven't read before from him. Is it stuff he left lying around?

Either way, I'll buy it and keep it in a special place with all my other favourite books.

from the looks of the preview it's a collection of writings he was working on and things like journal entries, etc.

I hate to seem clueless, but who was this person? I'm not certain I ever crossed paths with him here. He died of cancer?
-Edit_ I've been reading the archives- seems like everyone liked him.

Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

Just to clarify, the book was an effort by his family and his friends from NC State. I didn't know it existed until pretty recently, and all the credit for that effort goes to them!
