Too excited, will get back later.

You have no idea how pleased I am that the packages are beginning to be received overseas! I would guess the Canadians are not far behind, but believe it or not we have slow mail service to Canada. At least I now know that that truck that came and took the skid away was not heading into a black hole of oblivion!

Waited for the postie but no book :'(

Arrived this morning, what can I say that has not been said! Wow.

Peter van Es · « **Reply #32 on:** January 28, 2012, 14:07:06 »

Mine arrived yesterday (but was delivered at the neighbors...) so I just got it now... Will unwrap and carefully... package well packed and undamaged!

UK down CHECK
NL down CHECK

That's 2/13 countries--waiting to hear about the rest!

Peter, thanks for the kind words. Just show your family their mention on your page, and I'm sure they will grant you a day of leisure....yes?

Mine's not arrived yet so I pressed my wine and racked it off while watching the FA Cup game

Which means I get no work done on Monday!

Eryck · « **Reply #36 on:** January 29, 2012, 10:14:44 »

Still waiting for it here in Hong Kong...

Michael - will let you know once it arrives....

Kemal · « **Reply #37 on:** January 29, 2012, 12:24:11 »

Well worth the wait!
To have a personal book in all its gloss and glory of our Group and our cars is a gift to treasure for a very long time.
Well done to all our efforts & especially Michael for all your time given to this very special project.

Michael

My copies arrived in my office in London this morning.

The book is fantastic. I have spent an hour reading it and feel as if I have hardly scratched the surface.

We all owe you a huge thank you.

Best regards
Andrew

Michael - got mine today so Hong Kong down. Like Peter said, excellent packaging.

The idea was great and the finished product, what can I say. I'm supposed to sleep early tonight because I have to send my daughter to school tomorrow....

I feel that bit closer to the forum members now that I see your photo's and will know your story!

Thanks, Michael.

Neil Thompson · « **Reply #40 on:** January 30, 2012, 21:26:02 »

Thank you and well done Michael and all involved. Received well packed today, had a quick flick through and impressed with the quality. Can't wait to read the personal stories that fuel the passion.

What part of London are you in? Seems like the last one delivered there. Even Eryck in Hong Kong (quite literally half a world away) got his first!

JamesL · « **Reply #43 on:** January 31, 2012, 19:06:27 »

It seems the Post Office (think Men in BlackII) managed to lose a label off it so it was in a great big bag -at least that's what the postie said: "the label came off -it's here (points to a bit of card strung to the bag). I hope that's you"

They obviously didn't think to look on the other side of the box where the manifest and a great big address label were sitting

Michael,

I received my copy yesterday. I was up until 12:30 a.m. paging through it. A fantastic book and a fantastic effort.

Regards,

Marc

OK. So here we go. Book was picked up today by Shelley but it arrived at the border last week.

Box is opened already - customs wanted to have a look. Opening the top of the box I see an invoice from Mike. Lots of bubble wrap inside of box. OK, I'm pulling the bobble wrap off the book...........wrapped carefully I might add. Two layers with second one taped in place. Book is sealed in shrink wrap - nice touch. OK, I'm about to peel off the shrink wrap. ( drum roll please ) Used the pointed end of a shifter arm to make a small hole in the wrap - careful not to hurt anything..........
Book has an odd smell - kind of like old cars. Nice art work on the front cover. Humm..... not singed but then I didn't ask.

Well, I looked though the book from cover to cover and I like it! Nice work Mike. I'll read it later but many names are familiar and now we all have faces to go with them.

When are you going to do a second edition?

mdsalemi · « **Reply #46 on:** February 01, 2012, 12:59:01 »

The smell Dan, is what you smell inside a commercial color printing facility. It is a combination of printer's ink, solvents, paper, etc. all wrapped up in one. And, since the book is wrapped, so is the smell.
Glad you are enjoying it. It took 3 days to get from here to Marine City, and a week for you to send Shelley the few miles to the ferry and go pick it up. MEANWHILE back at the ranch, your letter has still not arrived here. So stupid of Customs--they open the package and leave the book sealed. Unbelievable. They are absolute MORONS on both sides of our border I'm afraid.

No second edition planned...yet

Michael: No sign of the book either in Toronto or Calgary. I was in Calgary until yesterday and I wanted to show the book to my grand daughter and ask her to find her daddy's picture in his copy of the book.
Must be that dogsled that broke down because there is no snow in either place.

Michael,

A heart-felt well done from a newbie. I have read through hundreds of posts and sections of the tecnical manual and now have faces and a small glimpse into the lives of those whose information I greatly benefit from. Thank you for your time and effort.
