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'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.

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

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.

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!

Question

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