Smile 101 projects book- how many copies?

How many copies of 101 projects do you now have? Thanks to Christmas I am up to 4 copies. One I bought myself when they first came out A second was a gift from a friend that I had taught how to bleed the brakes on his 911 and now 2 more copies for Christmas- thanks to relatives and Amazon.com.
Great book- now maybe at least one copy will stay clean, unfortunately my signed copy is NOT the clean one.
Happy Holidays
Gary

Just one. Santa brought it. It is fantastic Wayne! Even better than anticipated. The clear color photos really set it off from other 'how to' manuals.

Wayne, remember 2 Christmases ago when my wife called you and you conveniently recommended that she get me the 914 restoration book? (co-authored by Wayne) Well, unfortunately this year she took the initiative and got me the 101 book but from Amazon!!! Whoops! I'll buy some gear to make up for it. Next year she'll get everything from pp. Do you have gift certificates?

2 copies. 1 I bought a few weeks ago, for the garage. And my brother bought me the other, along with the Bentley manual, for Christmas.

Really great book Wayne!

Thumbs up

You know the book is really good when your competitor starts advertising/selling it (Performance Products ad in latest Excellence). No mention of author though...wonder why? Great book Wayne.

got five copies ! All are signed... Four were for my 911 friends, and only one for me. It's really great, even if you could easily go to "151 projects" !

But I have to say that it's not cheap to order it on Pelican, because of the overseas shipping cost (keep cool, Wayne, the book worths twice its price !). For European folks, it's cheaper to order it from amazon.com (for my example, it costs 315 Francs (48 €uros) from PP, and only 239 Francs (36.5 €) from Amazon, both with shipping charges), but it's not signed...

Anyway, if there will be a pre-subscription for the engine rebuilding book, I'm in !

Wayne, a subsidiary question: how many copies of your book did you sell at this time?

Well, I read about 5 or 6 chapters last night and suddenly had an urge to go to the garage and begin doing something - anything! - to my 911! What a well-written book.

And ya know Wayne the plot is so subtle you can't even read the last few pages and figure out who dun it! Definitely wasn't the butler.

Hey Wayne,
Are you still shipping signed copies on Pelican orders?
I gave my [signed] copy away over Christmas to an Australian houseguest who really needed it. Need to replace it ASAP.
Thanx,
