Paul, I think I've come up with an idea on how you might fund your retirement :grin:

BTW: When I buy the new version of the book do ya think I can I get it signed by the author? I reckon I'll need a restoration done on my GT/CS in ~25yrs or so... or at least a new set of tires :wink:

Good Gosh! This is nuts! Needless to say, I'm humbled by this. Thanks so much for showing this (to me).

The new book, as I've said will be about $100, but I'm including some neat items (like a patch, decal, etc...). I feel torn for charging that much to those of you who love your CS, but may not make a lot of $$, and then I think about how this is really a limited edition book, that I'm really putting in a lot of hard work (right now).

I am truly honored. I wrestle financially myself, so this is great to hear.

Thanks! Paul N.

I reckon based on the original price tag on my copy of the recognition guide and the latest ebay price that the annual ROI on the book is ~22%. So..........
I think I'll take about 100 copies of the new version. :grin:

will that be UPS or FedEx?

LOL....thanks. I actually have a member here wanting ten copies of the new book as an investment.

amazing what a year can do. I had 15 or so copies of the 96 registry and it took a while to sell them at $65 each.
