The books are in Texas.
I will be calling the Distributor tomorrow to try to set up a pick up time.
I will start by purchasing $3,000 worth or books and then PM'ing guys in the order that they appear on my list. I have a total of $6k worth of commitments from guys here and on two other websites.
As money comes in, I will ship!
It will take a couple working days after I get the books before I start shipping as I will need to secure mailers/flat rate envelopes.
Watch your PMs!

I am picking up the first slug of books later this week and will be sending out emails with payment details.
If you don’t get a PM right away, don’t panic. I have about 60 people on the list and I will be notifying about 15 at a time, in order.

Went to the PO today and grilled the lady at the counter regarding my options for shipping dozens of these books.
She convinced me that the smallest padded media mailer would be best from a cost and security standpoint (the soft cover fits tightly in the mailer and doesn't shift around - therefore doesn't get a running start at a tear!).
So here are the official mailing costs:
CONUS and Alaska (really? Alaska costs the same as Texas?): $4.76
Canada: $17.59 (ouch! You Canadians are subsidizing the Alaskans!)
Hard cover books that need to ship are not going into mailer pouches...the edges on the book sleeve are too sharp (no pun intended) and I do not want to risk damage to a $250 book!
Hards will get wrapped and secured inside a medium flat rate box. $12.45
So please just add the appropriate shipping cost to your book order ($60 for soft and $250 for numbered/autographed hards). Then send me your address in a PM and I will work on getting books out.
This will be on the honor system. I will ship as I get addresses and have the books to ship.
My trip to MO this weekend got postponed, so I will be making a PO run tomorrow!
If you want to pick up your book(s) at DSC or HSC, PM me that info too, and I will update my spreadsheet.
I will PM you when your book ships.
Tim

Well, I just picked up $3,000 worth of books, 25 soft cover and 6 hard cover.
The hard cover are all gone/sold and I only have 6 of the soft cover left!
The next 6 guys to PM me their address will get these, and then I am busy setting up another rendezvous with the distributor to get more books!

Thanks for reminding Tarbe! We Canadians are used to getting raped on shipping costs all the time.
I didn't trigger anyone did I?

Gents
The second delivery of soft cover books is now sold out.
I do have a few hard cover books left (limited edition of 500, signed and numbered, $250).
It will probably be after Christmas before I can get more soft covers. But feel free to PM me to get on the list, and I will make sure you get one!

I got the book. I'm going to take my time reading it. I have only perused some of the pictures so far then read a few early chapters. Thanks Tarbe. Rusty

I can't believe my copy arrived today. There is supposedly a back log because of the rotating Canada post strike ( Federal government ordered them back to work) and sometimes packages get delayed at Customs.
Book looks great.
Thanks Tarbe.

I meant to say that the book arrived in perfect order. I don't have that kind of luck usually. I ordered a gold filigreed (decorated lavishly) covered book for my Thai brother whom I haven't seen for about 8 years and the decoration was destroyed and the book was bent. It could have been used for a radius gauge. That's in the good care of the USPS. I was surprised this soft bound wasn't a radius gauge as well. Thanks to John Sharp and Tarbe. Rusty

Hey all
I trust everyone who has ordered have received their book by now.
Between 24 Hour Campfire and another site, I shipped 53 books so far. Every book was shipped prior to receiving funds.
Aside from a few extraordinary cases (illness in family type stuff that was communicated ahead of time), every book has been paid for.
It is heartening to know that we have a community here that is worthy of such trust!
I have two of the limited edition, signed and numbered hard cover books, and three soft covers still available.
Also, if you are going to SCI or DSC conventions, books will be available for sale - at SCI at Wintershoek Safaris - Booth #:2019 and at DSC Booth #4342.
Take care all,
Tim
