The Common Man Series

This little guy didn't invent fire, and we didn't invent the 1000 Islands, the ADK Fire Tower Challenge, the Erie Canalway Trail, nor Lake George or Saratoga.  However, we did write trail guides for all of these and more.  You can find them from my webpage at www.RogerFulton.com or from the publisher's webpage, www.commonmanbooks.com.

Common Man Books are made in America!!

We recently obtained a book titled “New York Wildlife Viewing Guide”, published by Watchable Wildlife, Inc. out of Cambridge, Minnesota.  But when you read the fine print, it was printed in China. So much for American jobs. All of the Common Man series books that we write are published by Common Man Books in Glens Falls, New York.  We hope that you want to put America and American workers first.  All of our outdoor guides for New York and Florida are published by a New York business, in New York, putting New Yorkers to work. To learn more about our series, go to www.commonmanbooks.com or www.RogerFulton.com.  Thank you for buying American.
