In addition to Adrian's wonderful authoring capabilities, he was also one of the early RL members. I remember his posts and he was a super valuable member of the community, however something unknown to me must have transpired (I was busy changing diapers and playing with my kids in the dirt at the time) and he decided that some of the people here weren't playing nicely, and he stopped participating.

I too am looking forward to his comprehensive coverage of the 997.2!

I bought that same book a few weeks ago but it was out of stock and just got it delivered to my door yesterday. I just quickly scanned a few pages. The paper and pictures are good quality. I would recommend this book just for the pictures alone

Of course, the next edition will include the 997.2.

I think his book on the 996 is outstanding. I'm going to find his previous books and add them to my library...and his new one as well.

I'm looking forward to the release of the book.
Ditto, his 964 book is THE resource.
