Louise,
I hardly ever buy books, but a copy of the second edition of your "Bonneville
Salt Flats" book was given to me by Santa Clause last year (yes, even at sixty
years old, I still believe in Santa). If you've been following the list much,
you may have probably become aware that I just came out of the hospital after
my second major back surgery in seven months. I have now had a total of eight
discs replaced or reworked through a series of three surgeries. Some vertabrae
have had to be reconstructed and reshaped, and some nerves have had to be
re-routed to be sure that my legs will work. I've got titanium screws,
titanimum hinges, teflon hinges and teflon washers all over the place. My MRI
looks like a picture of an F-16 landing gear! Not much fun!
Anyway, what I wanted to do was thank you for putting together such a great
book. I looked at the pictures and read all the captions when I first got it,
then it got posted on the coffee table. Now, I lay in bed for hours reading
pages over and over again - - every word. Somebody complained that you had
made a couple of minor errors somewhere - - well, I could care less. It's a
great book, it's very informative, very entertaining, and it's certainly
keeping me from getting a severe case of cabin fever during my seven week
recovery!
Thanks

The Bonneville Salt Flats history book is scheduled for its 3rd Printing,
but will be a 2nd edition with selected corrections. It will be a soft cover
edition with a retail pricing of $24.95. This will allow more people to
afford the book. The books are expected to be in the warehouse no later than
May 2002.
On a sad note, the publisher has informed me they are allowing the hard
bound edition to go out of print. In an effort to stave off the inevitable a
little while longer, I worked out a one-time opportunity to make one final
order of hardbound books (these will also have the above mentioned
corrections) and will place the order January 31st.
Without making any financial commitment, I am polling interested parties to
discover what, if any, interest there would be in obtaining the final
hardbound editions of the book.
I am also ordering a limited number of unbound books that will become
specially autographed editions available for sale at a future, undetermined
date (It's going to take a long time to get them all signed by the racers)
If you have any interest in either the hard bound, or special autographed
editions, please reply to me no later than the 27th of January.
LandSpeed Productions will be upgrading its communications network and may
be off-line for up to three weeks. The fax number will also be changing.
There is no guarantee that email will be delivered to me after the 27th.
When the new service is established and stabilized, contact information will
be made available.
Be Vigilant,
