The books are on the road today. For arrival on October 30 or 31.

I had no idea how much room this many books would take. Apparently I'm getting four pallets, each measuring 4 feet by 4 feet! Vicki's going to have to park outside for a few days.

Mudworm: sure, go ahead and let anyone know it's done. Availible at my house next week, spreading out to stores thereafter.

Let's see Pinnacles climbers having to drive out to Twain Heart to get a book for climbing down in Monterey.

Factor, I thought you were detail oriented. Didn't you read "Add $10.00 per order for taxes and shipping."?

Brad, Just to confirm before I send out the email to RR list. I assume the requirement of minimum of 3 still stands if people do direct orders from you, correct? That is, I assume you still have a real job?

Maybe Munge can spread the word on the various forums he posts on?

There's this place in Sonora that has a perfect long hand crack with lots of FA potential. Who wants to know about it?

Not that I climb or anthing.

So, I've got the tracking number for the shipment. Currently delivery is scheduled for November 1st. I was a little shocked though to learn that the 4 pallets of books (each a 4 foot by 4 foot by 4 foot cube) will weigh 4 tons. The book must be about 2 pounds, so that makes sense, but, holy sheet. Luckily we have a slab floor.

My wife has agreed to mail out shipments to those who've sent checks. They'll go out the day after the books get here.

Brad,

Are you going to get the Visitor's Center to sell the guide? Have you talked to them?

Brad Young · « **Reply #30 on:** October 24, 2007, 08:18:59 PM »

Karl, yes on both questions. I know I've got an email of yours to respond to, but I've been so dam busy. I've got one of the older ones. How many of the new one do you want? Let me know, or just mail me.

Sigh....Why does the guide book have to be so heavy? The poor sport climbers are going to break thier backs carting such a heavy book around.

I'm planning on getting one of those trail running trike things, so I don't pull something.

Good man Karl. You can never be to be careful.

It's bad enough having to carry all those quick draws. And then a few cams.

Can't they just have toperopes setup and you just walk around with your harness?

I was allowed to thumb through the new guidebook yesterday. It's pretty nice.

The pictures are great. Pretty cool pictures.

Not too heavy.

Was anyone on Shake and Bake yesterday???

Brad Young · « **Reply #35 on:** October 30, 2007, 08:25:41 AM »

OK, delivery is scheduled for 2:00 PM tomorrow. Anyone care to come up to the house for dinner and a book?

Oh, and Factor's comment about "being allowed to" thumb through a book sounds odd, but it is accurate. It was my personal copy of the book, and his hands were dirty from climbing. Anyone who knows me (and my love - or is it obsession? - with my guidebooks) can now understand the phrasing. Sorry, Factor, I'll get you your own copy soon.

F4 you filthy creature......take a shower and for gods shake wash your hands after you visit that outhouse.

Can I use PayPal to pay for a copy of the book? I need something to motivate me to climb this winter...

Brad Young · « **Reply #38 on:** October 30, 2007, 11:26:02 AM »

No Pay Pal. And no "mail order" after the first "urgent books" go out. I don't have the time or inclination to do a lot of mailings. Cash or check. Drive up tomorrow.

And inspiration? Each of the three major parts of Pinns opens in the book with a photo that is characteristic of that area. The West Side opens with a nicely framed photo by Munge of you, on Lava Falls. Will that get you going?

F'ueco · « **Reply #39 on:** October 30, 2007, 04:45:19 PM »

Ah, okay then... I'll wait until you come down to Pinns next weekend... Unless someone else wants to pick up a copy for me (I'd reimburse them, of course!).
