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

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!

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

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... -Wayne 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.

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.

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! Phil |

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