The Interracial Dating Book for BW Who Want to Date WM

The author of this book would make a fascinating subject, but he published under a pseudonym and all of his email addresses are defunct. The book is self-published, but I've had a few feelers out for a couple of weeks, and I feel that one will bite.

Here's the amazon.com link:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1581128002/qid=1084239161/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-1478560-6856811?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

They say that there's only one copy, which I purchase as a means of getting in contact (hopefully) with the author, "Adam White." Either way, it's something that I found a coupe of months ago and it's on my MUST READ list.
