his is the truth at least ah heared it fum th' hosses mouth. The
first actual edition will be in 3 parts. The one that's available
now is the group that is being sold to us, the vintage race
community at races this season and from "selected" vendors.
Your friendly local bookstore" will not get theirs until October
31st (more about that in a sec). There is a very special set of
the first edition, bound in leather with the "Prancing Chili
Peppers" logo as a cloisonne badge on the cover that will be given
to the advertisers and supporters of the book. There will be 300
(I think) printed with about half held back which will be
varioulsy auctioned off for charity or given away as special
presentations. These hold backs will "not be for sale".
Oh yeah the October 31st thing is a promotion where we "old sporty
car types will show up at our "local" bookstore in costume ala the
Halloween party in the last chapter in "-OPEN ROAD". We are to
have a pix taken and sent to Burt... Prizes will be awarded.
There's another promotion regarding the two book logos but I'll
let Burt publicize that one.
