Anyone recieve their new book yet?
 
I pre ordered the black and white copy of Wayne engine building book a long time ago. I recieved that one, but I thought the new one should be shipping already? Has anyone recieved Waynes new book? If not when does it ship?

I ordered the new one some time ago, haven't seen it yet. I figure it'll be along eventually. Pelican delivers! :)

I think they're "in transit", bet we have 'em in a few days.

I got mine today, wooo hoo! High quality stuff, gonna come in handy. I'm tempted to buy another so I can keep one clean and get one all greasy.

Mine was delivered today also. Just in time for my flight back east.

I'm still waiting. I guess since you guys over on the left coast are getting them, ours should be arriving soon. I can't wait!

Still waiting here.....

Unpacked mine today. Very good photo quality with excelent detail. (In Color)
I thought I would see more in the modify area. Dino Charts?

I just ordered my copy. My car found its way onto the back cover as well as in the book. I guess this was my 15 minutes of fame. LOL http://www.101projects.com/911-Rebuild/sample_page8.jpg

Got mine on Sat! It's fantastic.

Wayne 962 04-07-2003 11:23 PM

All the pending orders, and books that were bought with the preview copy were mailed out on last Thursday and Friday. They should be arriving soon.

Dyno charts? That's a bit of an unrealistic expectation, in my opinion...

95% of the content of the book is stuff that is not published anywhere else...

Don't mean to be quick-tempered, but this book is my Sistine Chapel...

P.S. Everyone should buy two - one for the coffee table, and one for the garage!

I think I got mine Monday.

I must say that it is one of the most impressive auto-related manuals I have seen. The layout and pictures are like a college science textbook. Very pleasing to the eye!

Outstanding job Wayne. Top notch to say the least.

Jim Smolka 04-08-2003 11:14 AM

Rcvd mine. Wayne promises that it should help me to go faster on the track :D

I have only had a few minutes to read the book. From what I have seen, Very Nice.

Hmm, most of my textbooks from college are black and white, quite staid and boring, and nothing like this book. You must have done to a fun college!

I don't remember much from college except "renting" a table at the undergrad library from afternoon 'til closing.............

I dunno. It's similar to some kind of highly informative text I used to read! I've only read the first five pages and i'm already hooked.

Checking Pelican's order status screen I saw that mine was actually time-stamped by Pelican's shipping department on Monday. Oh well, I've waited this long, I guess a couple more days won't kill me. As long as I get it before I travel again.

philfran 04-08-2003 02:48 PM

Mine came today. Quick look through proves that it is first class.

Since I read the black and white version I guess I will just look at the pictures!!!!!

Great job!

My wife ordered one for me through Barnes and Noble in November. Was this a mistake?:confused:

Wayne 962 04-08-2003 04:09 PM

Yup, cancel the order, and order one from here: http://www.101projects.com/rebuild.htm

This way you get the Bonus CD-ROM and my John Hancock!

Haven't got mine yet. Looking forward to reading it during Jury Duty this week. :\
