New 2024 Book Arrives

[Chris Kuykendall]

TIGHAR e-mail, September 10:

>>Due in part to your efforts in helping promote the book, the first printing of 2,300 books has already sold out. Pre-orders on Amazon have been going crazy. The publisher has ordered a second printing of 3,000 which should be in by September 23 and we have first dibbs. Amazon will start sending out books to their customers on September 15.<<

I ordered and await the $100 autographed copy from TIGHAR.  Meanwhile, I let the September 15 publisher release date pass, and then did an additional Amazon order late-night September 16.  That arrived from Amazon at noon today, September 20, and will be first-read and will become a mark-up, underlining, copy, whereas the $100 TIGHAR copy will remain basically a collectible.  I have a marked-up, underlined copy of the 2006 book, no CD, but not long ago noticed another one on Amazon, with the CD, and was able to buy it on July 6 for only $17.60 after tax and shipping.  Then it turned out to be autographed, and as such will remain pristine also.  Third Amazon copies of both books will go at Christmas to my niece's husband in San Antonio, a Delta pilot now on international routes as he nears retirement.
