The Garden That Jack Built is my wife's newest book, written for 0-8 year olds, and the young at heart. Illustrated from my collection of photos from local layouts. 
Jack is indeed, Jack Verducci. From the first page of the book, my wife writes:


"There is something special about trains. As long ago as I can remember I have been fascinated by trains, especially steam trains. And what better way to enjoy trains every day than to have a garden railway to run in your own back yard! The Garden That Jack Built is a compilation of photos from a variety of layouts from Northern CA and Arizona. Many of these garden railroads have been inspired or influenced in one way or another by master modeler and "G-Scale" train enthusiast Jack Verducci. Jack is a founding member of the Bay Area Garden Railway Society. In 2008, the club celebrated its 20th anniversary. –J.I.M."

Joe, just so you know, my wife picked out the photos to best go along with her story and verse. She just went through my 1000's of photos and found what she needed. I didn't even know she was working on the book 'til she was almost done! 


Now she gone up and made herself a website! [url]www.pufferbellypress.com [/url] 
She's taking classes at the local college on website design .... and Yoga.

Russ,

Yeah, but can she cook?


Joe, Why do you think I put on 70 pounds since we got married!

One of the best cooks ... ever!

My wife would like to hear what you guys think of her book ... Joe, did you get your book yet? It seems to be selling well.

Here are a couple of photos of my wife, Jenifer, thanking Jack Verducci for all of his wonderful contributions to the Garden Railway Community and presenting him with her new book. The photos were taken during the BAGRS Annual Meeting held at the end of February.

 

 


He was truly appreciative of the book and bought a few more for his grand kids. My wife sold out of the books that she had brought to the meeting.
