It Is Done
« on: October 17, 2007, 01:52:15 PM »
Finished books are coming off today. All copies will be done tomorrow. The printer selected two and placed them in overnight UPS to me. Alas, they got to UPS too late for delivery tomorrow. Delivery on Friday. Upon my review and subsequent OK the whole lot will ship for delivery about October 29th.

Anyone gonna want a copy?

Anyone want to come up friday after work for a beer?

If I end up not working that may be a possibility.
I will give a somewhat less ambiguous answer tomorrow.

Wow, I didn't think anyone would actually take me up on it! If you're serious, it looks like bad weather through Saturday and we'll be home. Bring Mudworm if you can.

I'd be all over that if I wasn't going to be down Solvang this Saturday "suffering" through a horrendously long bike ride...  ;)

Finally!

I think we are going up Sunday if the weather is good to grid bolt something on the pass  ;D

Maybe next weekend, using the guidebook at the Pinnacles?

Mr Mud, be sure to make a copy for me on your way home @ Kinkos.

Fueco, how can you suffer on the Solvang ride. The views are wonderful! The ladies from So-cal. Plus its all flat. I was going to go down for the Prelude, but have marital commitments that weekend. Be sure to hit a winery or 2 while down there.

Brad,

Congrats on all the hard work. I can't wait to chuck my old purple Rubine copy and pick up yours.

I figured I would use my copy for a trip to the woods.  That paper he is using sounds quite nice.

Brad, It looks like we will be driving up Saturday morning if that works for you.  I will bring a decent bottle of beer to celebrate with.

 It does have 10,000 feet of climbing... I don't know that area all that well, so maybe they are all small hills?  ;)

Romantic weekend away...

Fueco, which ride is it? It's mainly rolling hills, but 10k of climbing makes me suspicious that you are doing something different.

I hope the book has some cusion to it. They take the bite off that Pinnacles rock when sitting down.

Wow, it is real! I have two copies and it's beautiful. From theory to reality with the opening of one package. It feels kind of like having a kid.

Joe, I'll be getting them into stores after I recieve the main shipment (about 7 days, maybe a few more until I get the main shipment). I haven't decided yet whether I'll sell them by mail myself, but maybe for a few early birds? Why don't you email me and let's see if we can work out something, maybe mail copies for you and some of your friends right away?

Hey Brad,

perhaps just assume that anyone on Mud n' Crud will want to buy one? I'm down for one I can tell you.

I'm a little surprised at how many people want copies quickly. I don't think it will be in stores much before Thanksgiving. I will commit to quickly mail out copies to anyone who wants them soonest (quickly meaning within 2 days or so of my receiving them). Such orders will be received what, a week or 10 days before the earliest availabilty in stores.

But, I don't want to be overwhelmed, I've got a real job too. So let's set a minimum of three books, a maximum of eight. Retail will be $35.00, so $30.00 per copy ordered direct from me, seems appropriate. Add $10.00 per order for taxes and shipping. Does this sound fair? Any takers can mail to PO Box 416 Twain Harte, CA 95383.

Any orders received by the time the books get here will get fast responses.

Also, anyone who wants a copy and lives nearby or is climbing in this area is welcome to drop in ("this area" meaning on the Sonora Pass Highway). We have lots and lots of climber visitors here. I'll be down at Pinns East Side the second weekend of November too. Maybe I should bring some then?

Brad, congrats that it's done! I can't wait to admire your beautiful work.

Would you want to make an announcement to the local climbing clubs about the availability of the new guidebook?  Rock Rendezvous is one (rock-rendezvous@yahoogroups.com). You can probably email to that list; or I can send one for you since I'm on the list.
