We hope you will enjoy and benefit from visiting our site. You will find many interesting items here, in both nonfiction and fiction areas. And, if we cannot fill the bill, we will try to help you find the information you're seeking.

Among many other services Van Buren Books hopes to provide, we will focus especially on the lessons contained in Ed Ahrens' several publications, most based on his personal experience during 16 years as a Florida Supreme Court certified civil circuit mediator and 48 years as a member of the Florida Bar, most of that time, before his retirement, with one of the largest electric utility companies in the country.

As our site grows and develops, we will include articles and analyses about mediation, and we also will share our knowledge of and experience with self-publishing and print-on-demand publishing.

We look forward to your comments, suggestions, and, yes, your harshest constructive criticisms. We want nothing less than for this site to be the best of its kind and one you will visit often.
