Sorry, Fueco, didn't mean to be so brusque. It's just that I'm not set up to do sales, at least not by PayPal or the like. Even mailing takes a lot of time. I love guidebooks, and I know others do too, so I'm willing to mail sets out ASAP, but then, after that, I've got to just get quantities to stores and let them deal with sales. I think otherwise I'll be overwhelmed. I do have an arrangement with Marty Lewis (he does the Eastern Sierra guides) to do a lot of the distribution, which will take that load off me and make him a little money too.

I'll bring a bunch down to Pinns the weekend of November 10 and 11. That may be the easiest way to get additional copies out fast. Still, if you'd like to drop by for dinner (or trick or treat) tomorrow night...

Hope you like the guide.

Brad,
Are going to sell any at SNAC in Sonora or Arnold?  I will be going though Arnold on Monday and would like to get a copy.  Jeff

I assume they'll carry a few. I needed chalk today and thought I'd discuss the book with them too. But when I called I got the machine. I'll try again.

 No worries... I'll try to get down there. Perhaps I can even scrounge up someone to carpool with... I'm probably working OT tomorrow afternoon, so driving up your way is probably out of the question.

Brad,

I'll mail a check today if you still have any unclaimed copied. Bratton will be down t the Pinns next weekend and could just pick it up from you if that would work?

Sure, I'll have few unclaimed. I think Bratton's going to the West Side though? We're going to the East Side all weekend.

But how does your garage look now???

Gee Brad maybe we could meet at the High Peaks the weekend we'll be on separate sides?

Or for dinner at Sizzler in Morgan Hill?

Easy for you to say F4. Brad would be the one hiking UP to meet you with multiple 2 pound books ::)

It's simple. I have a new car in the garage. One with no wheels.

Can't meet you in the High Peaks. This is a long planned weekend with the family. I don't think it'd go over real well to climb during the day and bail for the evening (leaving Vic to do dinner and deal with the kids).

I have a friend who I'm pretty sure is going to join us. You know him, he once tackled you on the Yaks Wall. Would he maybe do a delivery?

Uncle Stinky, SNAC is closed this week for an employee retreat. So no bookw to them 'til next week. But, if you're going through Sonora, my office is only a mile from SNAC. Swing by for a cup a coffee, I'd love to meet you.

Brad,
I would like to swing by but is about quite a bit out of my way up to Bear Valley.  I am just driving up for the day to get some things at our cabin and get some moutain time in.I have to make the most of my time that day.  It would be nice to meet you too.  If something changes I will email you a message.  Jeff

Does the visitor's center have copies of the new guidebook now?   Or will PE have any?  I want to get a copy.
Thanks!

The East Side visitor center also has it, but you have to ask.
