Porsche Books: My Good Fortune is now Your Good Fortune

[Rot 911]

Just got back from my local Hastings. Apparently Porsche books are not hot sellers here. They had all the Porsche hardbacks on the close out rack with the most expensive selling for $5.99! I bought all they had. Of course I picked up some doubles. Now, as a thank you to everyone who has helped me on this board, I am offering these books for what I paid for them, plus shipping. Here is how it will work, below I am listing the books, their list price and what I paid for them. Remember, these books are brand new! I don't want to try and figure out shipping, so I think I will just have a flat $2.00 for each book, which is probably a money loser for me, but what the hell. If you want one, you must RESPOND ON THIS THREAD with the book you want. First come, first served. On a later thread I will announce the winners. You can then send me you e-mail address. Now here is what I am asking of you. First, don't ask for all the books, think about what you would really like to have. Second, please just don't buy the book and turn around and sell it on e-bay. Again, this is a thank you to the board. This offer is even open to new posters to the board.

I'll pull rank, and say let me have the Starkey book. I don't have this one yet for my reference collection, and it seems to be out of print?

-Wayne

[emcon5]

No fair Wayne, I asked first.

I just wish there was a Hastings around here. I wouldn't be suprised if they are closed out at other stores as well.

Very cool of Kurt to do this.

Tom

[island911]

Yeah, what Tom said, . . .and I asked second.

Wayne, don't you get to buy all your books wholesale anyways.. . or are they ussuall just promo'd to you?

You know, I don't have this one yet for my reference collection.

[Zeke]

Dibs on the 914 book. I didn't see anyone ask for that one unless I miss-read. Oh, I guess jiordi wants them all. Well, I say spread the good fortune around. Thanks. Hope to hear from you.

Kurt,

Great work!

For the location of a Hastings book store in your area, go to :

http://www.gohastings.com/About/stores.asp

Hope they are doing this sale in other areas! Am going to look on Monday. Hope there is not more than one "hastings" chain!

Joe

[Wayne 962]

Ah yes, you did respond first, but you forget that I am the evil dictator, and can very easily change posts, and insert/delete anything I want!

Indeed you are the Dark Lord of Pelican Parts, but you are also a well regarded and highly distinguished author, published by Motorbooks. According to Amazon , Motorbooks also happens to be the publisher of the R-RS-RSR book.

If it was me, I would be on the phone to my publisher trying to get them to dig up a copy, or at least do a short production run for you to sell here.
