Meader Books - Faithfully Reproduced

Southern Skies, dedicated to publishing faithful reproductions of Stephen W. Meader books, is proud to announce the addition of eleven new titles to our library. We began with T-Model Tommy being carefully photographed, page by page, from the original 1938 edition. The only exception was the removal of a Harcourt Brace NY publisher's note and replacing it with the Southern Skies mark.

The high expense of self-publishing, storage and other direct costs of this project prohibited additional titles until most of the expense of T-Model Tommy was recovered. In late 2004 we found a reputable company with the new printing technology that enabled us to add ten titles in time for Christmas. The response has been gratifying. Throughout 2006 we have heard from men and women from every state in the United States, every province in Canada, and six foreign countries. Heart-warming stories have come from all parts of the country, and while the particular nature of the influence may be different, one thread runs through their stories: Stephen W. Meader opened up new worlds and possibilities. For many they were inspired to make those dreams come true, as in the man who now owns a large trucking company because of T-Model Tommy and the aviator who saw his goal possible because of Sabre Pilot. What an honor it was to hear from a man who counsels at-risk youth and uses Meader's books to teach the value of honesty, hard work, and perseverance.

Every fan of Stephen W. Meader has several books which became special favorites and which they now wish to share with the young people in their lives, as well as reread for their own pleasure. The reading of Meader's books provides more than exciting adventures and exploits; his background of history and geography gives accurate physical descriptions of the stories' locales and an authentic look at life in that time. His historical novels are noted for his ability to intertwine events that shaped our country with thrilling escapades.

With the new titles, we will have all forty-four of Meader's books back into print. There are two unpublished manuscripts that we will be working on to ready for publication. We have also been in contact with a doctoral student whose thesis is on Stephen W. Meader. There is a possibility that this may also become part of our library. We see very exciting and rewarding times ahead. I thank all our faithful supporters for making my own dream of having the Meader books back into print a reality.
