More is better Alex! I have been nose into that book for over two months now and I am still trying to absorb the information in it. Many questions have been answered by the information in it. Then looking at some of the information makes more questions to be answered yet. Very well done and with many subjects covered and questions answered. I look forward to any other projects you have ahead! Bill

You gotta do what works for you. For those that didn't jump on the chance to buy your book; Their loss.

I can only imagine how much of a pain it was handling every order the way you did... A more streamlined process would be beneficial on future endeavors.

Thank you for the effort on this book... I for one greatly appreciate it. :vcool:

I jumped on the chance to buy Alexander's book when he first announced it and I am glad I did. It's a fantastic resource. I also kept the envelope it shipped in, it was just too cool to toss out.

The envelope hit the trash upon arrival at my house. I have bought a lot of stuff from Eastern Europe so the cool factor sailed long ago.

You missed an opportunity there Steve, I bet you could have made some lunch money selling that wrapper to someone here.

Nothing new to me. In the early 70s I got an insider's tip on an IPO of a high-tech that became very, very successful, I mean really successful. I blew it off.... If I had invested $500.00 at that time, I could have been buying Mosins by the container with my loose change. Instead, I bought a boat and a bag of pot.

It is all OK, I believe that a lifetime of construction built character.....

Could have invested in a fruit company? Oh well, think of all the fun you would have missed not working for a living for the last 40 years.

You want to buy mine? :vconfused:

Not! Its not for sale! :chuckles:
No, I have one already ....you forgot so quickly? Oh, that's not good, you know they say the memory is one of the first things to go, then they find you wandering down the street in your robe and slippers talking to yourself.
