Yeah Adrian's book looks like a must have stocking stuffer...
I refer to one his write ups on a Ruf 964 all the time...
Plus he seems like a good guy..(Adrian... please don't read this)

Adrian- been looking at info on your book on the internet & the book information page of your website- looks like this book will be a must have for us, and will increase marketplace awareness and sports car enthusist appreciation in general of the 964! Great job, and looking forward to getting the book!

Dear Andrew,
Thanks. I will be happy when you get your books and you tell me it is good value for money. My main concern is that you feel you have received your monies worth. Anything else for me is a bonus.

Book arrived this morning. I've just flipped through it and I'm very happy with my purchase. I hope Adrian makes some good money on this.

Thanks Adrian.

Adrian

Dear Red,
There is no real money in this for me. I did not do it for the money. If I sold 20,000 copies I would be okay but no chance of that.
Seems like you are the first to receive it to.

Dear Adrian,
I didn't want to imply that you did it for money. I don't know why you did it and really don't need to. If anything I would like to say that it is a book worthy of making money. There is certainly enough garbage out there that does well monetarily and has little or no useful content. I've made a good purchase that will increase my knowledge of my car and help me fix the little problems.

Thanks again,
Aaron

Wahooooooooooooooooo!!!

Received a mail yesterday from Bentley Publishers, ordered today, will get my book soon. At least I will be the first to get it to Switzerland :-)

Thanks Adrian for the time you spent, for your researches and and and

Gruetzi to all Thomas

Wouldn't bet on that, Thomas...

Adrian - some friends have enquired as to when the Swiss-German version is coming out... What shoud I tell them??

Congratulations on getting it finished and published, Adrian. I too look forward to what the postman brings..

Dave.

Adrian

Dear Dave,
That is not up to me. I honestly do not think it will be translated into other languages. The cost is very high for such things and I tried to make it so a lot of the pictures did the talking. I am not sure there is a fair market, not for me but for Bentley to recover their investment. As you know in German the book would be somewhat larger. In Schweizer Deutsch it would well be very strange to look at and bigger again. Translating from Deutsch to Scweizer Deutsch would take quite a while if the Schweizer Deutsch is spelt properly.

Dear Aaron,
I never thought you did. I don't think that way. I took it as a compliment what you said but thought I had better tell you that there is no money in it. Not making profit that is. To recover what I have invested will take thousands of books. Do not sweat about it at all.
Enjoy the book that will be make me truly happy.
Ciao,
Adrian
