BKTC SEC Admin Proceeding for delinquent Financials / filings:
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2015/34-74458.pdf
Tues. AM (July 10, 2001)
Dear BookTech shareholder:
As you know, the company got the AMEX to resume trading on BTC. It had been
halted for over two months due to their failure to have audited financials
submitted. Friday was a day for pent-up, market sell-orders, which took it
down to as low as 10 cents.
Yesterday it closed at 45 cents.
With the first hour of trading today, it's at 60 cents - clearly some bargain
hunters are in there buying the cheap stock.
No news has been issued, but the new CEO is expected to have official updates
some out soon, along with a "letter from the CEO" to all shareholders
describing his turnaround/clean-up efforts thus far.
Will keep you posted.
Best wishes,
Jim Stock

Howdy BTC fans,
I eChatted with Jim Stock this wekend, who is/was associated with BTC as a PR representative.
It appears that BTC will make it back on to the AMEX this coming week, with good PRs to back up the "..re-light.." of their candle.
The stock should open at $0.70 where it was temporarily stopped; but, it should move back up to it's normal trading range (..over a buck..) fairly quickly.
Might be a real good opportunity for both shortterm and longterm gains. BTC is well connected with major univertisites around the country.

FYI: I spoke with Ted (the Comptroller) today. He said they would have the 10K and the 10Q all done and submitted by the third week in June.
That should satisfy the yayhoos at Amex and put BTC back on the board for trading.
Sounds like the company is motoring along smoothly and making good progress, so hopefuly the share price will roll right back up to previous levels (and better).
Regards,
John

booktech.com Common Stock Temporarily Frozen
WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2001--As of today, the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) halted trading of booktech.com (AMEX:BTC) common stock.
According to CEO Dr. Morris A. Shepard, AMEX exchange officials telephoned Shepard to say AMEX was "halting trading because the company was late in filing its 10K, as is their policy." AMEX also said that they were "aware that booktech.com has recently secured $10 million in funding to continue the development of the Company's operations."
Further, Dr. Shepard said "the late filing was related to a shortage of funds to fully engage our auditors. However, the funds should be available in the next day or so, and the auditors will be engaged at that time. We intend to have the 10K completed within about two to three weeks. At that time we expect to be trading again. In the interim the company continues to serve its clients."

booktech.com Enters into Investment Agreement to Secure $10 Million
WOBURN, Mass., Apr 2, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- booktech.com (AMEX: BTC), a first
mover in digital and on-demand publishing for education and training, has
entered into an agreement to secure $10 million to advance its business
objectives over the next 36 months, according to CEO Dr. Morris Shepard.
booktech.com has entered into an investment agreement with Cornell Capital
Partners, L.P., pursuant to which Cornell Capital will buy up to $10 million of
registered shares of booktech.com stock during the term of the agreement.
Cornell Capital's obligation to purchase the shares commences upon the
effectiveness of a registration statement registering the booktech common stock
to be sold. Under the terms of the investment agreement, booktech.com will be
able to sell to Cornell Capital, on a monthly basis, a predetermined amount of
its common stock to secure working capital. The sale price will be based upon,
among other things, the market price and volume of the Company's common stock on
the date of each sale.
Once received the new funding will enable booktech.com to accelerate the
completion of its Educators' Portal and Educators Online Library (TM) that will
help professors and teachers create and deliver educational and training
materials through the Internet. A portion of the funds may also be used to
facilitate strategic acquisitions and to consummate business-to-business
partnerships planned by the Company.
"This is perfectly timed," says Dr. Shepard, "because we now are experiencing a
strong demand from universities and other distance learning institutions for our
online services. This spring, we also expect dynamic growth in our capacity to
market custom textbooks and coursepacks in print, CD and electronic formats."
Continues Dr. Shepard, "The terms of the new funding will give us the
flexibility and freedom to acquire capital for purposes of our own choosing and
timing, depending on project, seasonal, or other factors."

Custom Publisher booktech.com Captures Position in Burgeoning Distance Education Market
WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2001--booktech.com (AMEX:BTC - news)
Officers of booktech.com, a first mover in digital and on-demand publishing for education and training, report that they are elated at the Company's success in the burgeoning market for customized educational materials to support distance education programs, expected to have 2.2 million students by next year.
In the last eight months, booktech.com has inked contracts to provide customized materials for several major institutions that offer online academic programs. Building on the Company's historical base as a supplier of classroom textbooks and coursepackets on over 500 campuses, recently signed distance education clients include University of Maryland University College, Jones International University, and University of Texas TeleCampus.
``We are confident of having the inside post in this new market,'' says booktech.com CEO Dr. Morris Shepard. ``It has been a natural step for our Comany to go from publishing printed textbooks to using the same materials to create digital files that students can read on a computer screen or print out.''
``booktech.com has bet the farm and invested $4 million to enable educators to create and deliver customized textbooks online,'' Shepard declares.
Adds Dr. Joe Short, a former college professor and president and now Chief Education Officer of booktech.com, ``My assignment to develop the distance education market for the Company is made much easier by our capacity to deliver in printed, CD or electronic download formats. Unquestionably, however, it is electronic delivery that is attracting the keen interest of the distance education leaders.''

Give me a break, oh Rotund One.
I own a number of listed stocks, mostly tucked away in the old IRA collection. Additionally, I will eventually assume fulltime management of our family portfolio - which reads like a inventory of Blue Blood collectibles. They're somewhat boring, but steadily performing; i.e.: Dad started collecting Raytheon, Shearing, etc., about the time they were invented.
He and I discuss and collect those from time to time, but they certainly don't have that NASCAR or GRAN PRIX buzz one gets with the micro's. You wouldn't be judging books by covers, now would you? The "bb's" are a just a diversion/hobby, as I presume they are for you.
BTC was pointed out to me by an old buddy, who apparently is a recipient of the data contained in the company's current information campaign.
Several of us are already green in this one, suggest you do some DD and watch the volume/price closely.
John
What?!
JMhollen in a LISTED stock?
