Hey, Clint.
If the old ones are bound better, maybe you can keep the new one and pass around your older one with the better binding.

Why not put this stuff into the site calendar, that way we can see who's got it and bug them incessantly?

I thought about that, but some folks might not want that attention. I'll keep track of where it is and where it's going.

I'm asking for "More Proficient Motorcycling" for father's day. Especially good response for those who want to get you something and have no idea what to get you, and care enough to ask what you would like to have. Drop a hint Dads, and get it for keeps and make someone happy when they see that they got you something that you actually will read/use/practice/enjoy.

Just a thought.

Hey Rowdy, never mind. I see inside the book the instructions for contacting you to get next readers address. Thanks again

Ask your library if they do "inter-library loan".

Ours will let you fill out a form with as much information about the book as possible. Then they borrow it from another liabrary and let you read it.

I live in Georgia and did this with a book out of a military library in Alaska.

Cool!

I found that USPS "Media Mail" was the best way to go. If you can repack it to under 3 lbs. it's $2.55. Over 3 lbs. it's $3.05 or so. It weighed just over 3 when I sent it.

Come on, folks. I know there are many of you who could stand to read this. It'll cost you $2.55.

I will jump on board, too, however, not until my schedule mellows out a bit. Have MSF this weekend. Studying for the 5 written tests I have to take to get endorsement, and CRAZY work schedule for another month. I don't want the book sitting on my desk when someone else can be enjoying it.
