    I actually got mine on last last Friday the 29th of June.

    And it is great!... at least, as far in as I have allowed myself to read. I am still on the Salt Flat fellow who wouldn't allow a picture( "What's your business" ) taken, so Ryan ya filled the book with many. I'm sure 3 and some years later the point had to be made. hah!

    The book arrived a little bruised. But the hot sun here has changed it the most, as the cover has quite a curve now( drying ink? ). Looks good on it:)

    I am lovin' this book and I thank you( 3) for getting it done and putting it out... and the best part that I am liking the most, is that you got it to me a whole week before Rodder's "Scrapbook"( and that has been almost a two years paid wait ).

    Yes!!, hooray and well done, for the hands-on fellow challenging the limits, by way and given to his own set of tools and what he has to work with.

    Cheers Ryan

    Got mine too! The package has some 'postal patina' to verify that the post office touched it but the book is perfect!
    I sat down and started with the first page - i did not skip! - and tore myself away and save some for later, to go watch the sox whup up on the yanks a bit and then this morning i finished. I read and concentrated on every word of that little book, from the opening statement to the last advertiser.
    Terrific! I'm ready for another one, ok?
     
  5. Finally got mine yesterday. Cool beans!

    My copy was waiting for me just inside the front door when I got home after work and after a glass blowing session. It was in perfect shape. I tend to browse new books from back to front, so I got to see all of the fine advertisers who supported it first. Thanks to all of them for helping to make this happen.

    Recieved ours in the mail today in pristine condition. It's already been passed through the family members in a matter of hours. Beautiful, beautiful job. All I can say is WOW. Very classy; it was money well spent. Thanks Ryan and the crew!

    I just got my copy out of the mailbox. The book is in perfect condition, even though the manilla mailer was split down the side (I think that if this was mailed in a titanium fireproof safe, the USPS would figure out how to break it!)

    The book is awesome. Worth every penny.

    I finally reciieved the envelope today but the problem it was only an envelope. The pkg was opened with nothing inside. I guess someone from usps got an early xmas present.

    I dont really understand the usps sometimes, my order was shipped july 3rd with an expected delivery date of july 5th but with the holiday i expexted to wait a little longer. After waiting and waiting i rechecked my tracking and this is what it said.....

    July 3rd -shipped out of austin tx-(destination granger(only 1hr from austin)
    July 6th -scanned in bethpage NY ????? (Wtf?)
    July7th - scanned back at austin tx
    July 8th - scanned in at woodway tx (up by waco)
    July 9th- delivered to granger tx -- ( an empty envelope anyway)

    Can someone explain that?

    Got mine too... I've got a great amount of disdain for our local USPS.

    When the online tracker said it was shipped and the carrier said he handed it to the man in our office services dept. and it didn't make it to our office, I knew something was odd. The postmaster and the center's manager both said there was no way the system or the carrier could be wrong.

    Fast forward to Monday morning when the package arrived with our usual carrier. I called the center manager whom looked up the tracking number and said, "Your office was closed Friday, that's why you didn't get it" It was listed on whatever they see as undeliverable due to business being closed. However, My details (as posted previously, said it was delivered nearly 3 hours before the carrier showed up. WTF?

    "I called YOU from my office on FRIDAY. I spoke to you THREE times." I told the mgr. He stumbled, studdered and then said that he didn't know how we could've messed this up. No joke, he said that - nearly verbatum.

    I was so aggrivated and flustered I almost lost my cool... but after some mumbles and a deep breath I asked, "How can I be responsible for this? Really, please explain how? You've blamed me for this several times. I get that no one likes hearing complaints but your guys have lied and mismarked things in the system, which mislead our office, and I can't really be upset with it because you, the WHOLE CENTER'S MANAGER is a liar, too."

    He replied that he "guesses we'll just have to see it differently."

    Good grief.

    Anyhow, I am psyched to have finally gotten this book and it arrived in perfect condition.

    Thanks for putting out another great product.

    Oh and a question. I've only skimmed but If I read correctly, book number one never actually happened, right?
     
  21. Mine arrived here in Maryland yesterday, perfect condition. Ironically, I also got my "Scrapbook" (finally) that my wife ordered for me as a Christmas gift back in December 2011 from TRJ, so I wouldn't worry about being late in getting your books out Ryan

    I arrived home last night, and thankfully the postman had placed it on the front doorstep, out of the weather as we had a nice fall of badly needed rain yesterday. The envelope was nearly ripped open right down one side, but thankfully the the book was in pretty good condition with only a couple of marks, and the alliance tag was also safe. Had a quick look before falling asleep, and it looks good, and has a nice feel to the cover and page quality. Well done guys, I'll put my hand up for next one now!
