Thanks Bill.

As for when Amazon is going to start shipping that is totally out of our hands. Whitehorse sells some books to a distributor who in turns sells them to Amazon. You would have to ask Amazon when they expect them in stock.

I;m enjoying going into stores about town asking "Have you got the new classic by Canfield and Gess?"

I'd wager that Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Borders orders will start showing up soon. It looks like Whitehorse is getting them out quick and I presume they've shipped to the large distributors. Eager to see someone post that they got their Amazon order.

I took the time to set down and start reading the other night. I'm enjoying it while going through that "but there is so much more to tell" frustration. . . .

My favorite is Dave's recounting of the S-1 headlight . . . truly a "save" and an excellent example of the type of "solve the problem" mindset Dave exercised getting all the parts all the right places.

I'm wanting to tell the story of the front brake drive pin recall in Europe. . . .

Enjoy!

My favorite is Court's Mr Cash - he left out the live fish dinner part - followed close behind by the bike traded for software story.

I ordered mine from amazon. Hope it gets here before sept. 19 so I have something to read in Iraq before we go do a mission. Court/Dave do you think it will be here or should I order another through Whitehorse?

Xbper, we don't really have any way to tell. Amazon is two steps away from Whitehorse. If you really want it now I would try and cancel the Amazon order and them order from Whitehorse. Make sure you get the Amazon on e canceled first so you don't end up with two book (I think everyone sould have two but that's just my wallet talking; )

I've been through it a couple of times now. It gets better with re-reading.

Great job, Court and Dave!

I didn't order one from Amazon; I had already ordered it from Whitehorse Press. However, I bought my second (or actually first) in East Troy from a couple of shady looking characters sitting at a table out in the hot sun.

I can only say WOW. Ordered this fine book from Whitehorse late Monday night. Just received it this morning. Was not expecting shipment that soon. Looking forward to the great read.

Hi Dave,

Ordering yours and Courts book today from Amazon. A question regrading your old website that has been under constuction for quite sometime; ) You used to have a ghost picture of the RW750, will you have those available again at some point?

My under construction web site is pretty dead;(

I have to update it to try and sell books.

I could rerun that print but I need something like 50 or 100 orders to make it cost effective so I don't think I will do it again. Doing just 4 or 5 puts the price up to a point that I don't think folks would pay.

Has anyone heard form Amazon? They still show the book as not released BUT they have removed the prerelease price.

Anyone get a shipping date from them?

I emailed them yesterday and they said they have no ETA, but for my inconvenience they gave me free shipping as well as $3.99 credit towards any future purchases.

I just got off the phone with Amazon and she said that the book was not yet released to them. This is stupid! I ordered the book march 24th.

I want this thing yesterday!

>>>I want this thing yesterday!

That is an accurate statement.

I just got the joyful news today that reports are coming in to the publisher from media folks who received the book. Mr. Gess has a hit on his hands!

I'm almost up to the 1125 section...

Funny, it reads just like the "XR1000 that could have been" section... ; )
