Sorta. Co-author credit.
So it was like this: I was working on an architecture project, renovating a historic building. One of my assignments was to inspect the building and write a report, on the state of the building, what renovations have taken place in the past, what has been changed from the original drawings, what is missing and what has been added, etc etc which I did. I tried to be thourough. Everyone seemed to like it.
In order to get a permit to renovate this building, we had to submit a report on the historic significance, context, etc of the building and how the renovation will impact it. For this task we hired a consultant. The consultant wrote an in depth and excellent historical analysis, but elected to use my report on the buildings condition instead of doing the same thing I did all over again.
The complete report was considered to be above and beyond what was asked for, and received a Historic Preservation award.
So it was decided to do a limited publishing of the whole thing, with me being down as a co-author.
It's to be a limited run sort of thing. You won't see it in bookstores, unless you go to the one in the MN Historical Society building. Perhaps it may be used as a textbook or something.
But hey! My name in print, and I'm not paying for it. That's a win.
I want to thank everyone here for helping me hone my skills. Frankly, I didn't expect anything to come of it.
