    Dave,

    That sure took a long time! Most of my Canada orders take around a week. The ones to Europe have been a nightmare. Just had a chat with someone from the USPS about an order of 7 books that was turned around in the Netherlands. An identical package was delivered to the same recipient with the same address and phone number! They can't understand how it happened but said that the USPS would happily pay to reship -- yeah right...

    Having said that, what about those superb accessories listings?

    Down to around 300 copies of the first printing books.

    Thank you Jon,

    It was a pleasure working with you and Dave.

    I left out the word (Standard) which should follow Transmission Type on pages: 169, 171, 173 and 175. This will be corrected in the second printing. I really hate chassis number charts...

    Ordered that superb book few minutes ago, and cannot wait (I need to be patient as it has to come over here...)

    One from TPR INC (signed by the reputable author ) and a second one from Book Depository (8 days pre-order ?!?).

    Will see which one is delivering first.

    I have been at the Porsche Parade at French Lick, IN since Saturday and have only just returned. Xavier, I have received your order, though it is not yet processed. Shipping to Europe in most locations is $40 via USPS Priority Mail. Service has been very slow, so far. Most orders take at least 3-4 weeks. The people from the USPS have indicated that is the worst in the Netherlands, Germany and France. It is a little better, but $42 in the UK. It is much quicker in Canada, but still $30!

    Brett, great meeting you in the elevator at French Lick and thank you for the fascinating insights into the way the publishing world really works, I had no idea.

    I placed my order yesterday and am looking forward to both the book and the online gallery of full size images.

    Thanks again for sharing your time, and for your contribution to our community through your books over the years.
