additional questions answered...
Since my last posting I see these question/comments.
Tony Natoli, deal on shipping?
If your order is placed other than on my web store, we charge the actual shipping costs for everything in the box. If you order off the web store, it calculates shipping thru links to the various carriers and charges that. If you order one book that weighs 5 pounds (I am guessing on the weight here) and ten nuts that weigh almost nothing, it will calculate shipping at 15 pounds (one pound for each nut). Before I get negative responses:
Yes, we know its idiotic to do that, but it's the way the web store program is written. And with all of the hassles I have gone thru to get the web store functional, I am willing to live with an issue that the web store host says is out of their control and can't have a program written around it for less than 20 grand.
Tony, didn't Genny write another book?
Yes and no.
For those of us old timers, my company had a quarterly newsletter for years. Genny was in the process of making our web site a "members" thing, and the newsletter she was finishing when she died was going to be the first one on the new site. Obviously I had to change things, so we scrambled to publish the last one on paper and mailed it out as she had been doing. A good friend of mine owned "VelocePress", so we made a deal to have him print up "Obert's Fiat Guide"
http://www.fiatplus.com/OBERT-S-FIAT-GUIDE-BOOK.html , and the guy that bought VelocePress continues to offer it. The sales are still really good, and it covers a lot of technical information that was all in the newsletters.
Larry, can I pick up Al's book at the Fiat America club meeting?
Yes, no problem.
Tony, enjoy the ride stickers?
Yes, I still have some left. Large white

When I sell out that's it, the costs to do another production run can't be justified. As a bit of background, Genny signed a book to someone at one of her book presentations. The name she wrote down was wrong, so she grabbed another book and signed it correctly. The incorrectly signed book was in her presentation box, so I had the signature scanned. I also had a rubber stamp made so I can sign her books, if requested...
Tony, my hair?

It's getting thinner and shorter all by itself, and it's now blonde instead of red. And Jay Leno has again recently approached me from behind thinking I am female. No, I did not cut it.
eschneider, how to pay for Al's book?
When the book comes in and I have spread the incoming shipping costs out over 30 book, I will put it up on my web store and announce it here.
You will then be able to order it directly off my web store and pay the calculated shipping costs to your door, or call me when I am in the warehouse and pay the actual shipping costs when Brookie processes your order.
We accept credit cards or pay pal.
Tony, there yet?
Right now we are at 21 books. My email before I sat down to write this was to order the case. I am still waiting for the tool list, and have asked the person clearing up Al's estate to hold off on shipping until I have had time to review the tool list.
I am assuming and hoping that I will have more persons asking for the book, so assuming everyone who has said "yes" above (and the other guy) actually follows thru, I still have 9 books available.
Hold it, make that 8, I'll put one into Genny's library, just to say I have one of Al's books!
