Kickstarting a Restaurant Guide
The Beat Cop's Guide to Chicago Eats is a new book by former police sergeant David Haynes and author Christopher Garlington, giving readers a look at the Chicago food scene through the eyes of, yes, a CPD cop on the beat. Lake Claremont Press has been trying to publish the book for more than a year, but the ongoing economic conditions have kept that from happening. So, rather than shelve it permanently, the authors and the Press have turned to Kickstarter to crowdsource the first printing.
They're looking to raise $5,000 by Dec. 5, and pledges of $18 or more will get you one or more autographed copies of the book, along with increasingly interesting premiums. The book itself will include $34 in coupons good at some of the locations reviewed, making it a pretty good investment.
