RF: The Book

[GeneW]

Does this mean that RF book 1 will at some point not be published (and hence not available for sale) by Lulu.com?

Should I get my copy of book 1 right away while it's still available?

I was planning on buying it (alongwith a couple of other books) early next year...

Salman, there's no plan to remove book 1. Because it's a print-on-demand service, we're not obliged to stock preprinted copies. I suspect it will remain for sale as long as we're around ...

Keep in mind that no participant profit is being earned from the first book, nor will there be any from a second book. The cost is purely that for the printing, and whatever premium lulu puts on it for their margin.

Oh, so you know there has been quite a bit of conversation off line about a book 2. As we have a truly 24 hour community if you (everyone) can give this thread a kind bump to keep it up on the home page that would be appreciated.

(now I can get some sleep tonight)

I agree, Rover. Get some sleep while you can. You've stirred up quite the hornet's nest 🙂

I am sure, with the influx of a lot of new talent to the forum, there will not be a shortage of volunteers. Expect even better photos when people start using their softies 😉

As one who was privaledged to be in #1, I'm looking forward to seeing others work in Book 2 !
Roll it guys.

 

[RayPA]

Just bumping this to give it visibility.

Good morning

 

[hugivza]

It better be good guys - it's a week's pocket money with postage!🙂

 

[Pherdinand]

bump, goodmorning.
Rover, you get up unhealthyly early. [?]

 

[RML]

Am i the only one who sees the wrong time displayed for the posts? It's now 12.08 pm here bu Pherdi's post is time stamped at 12.44 pm.

(lousy excuse for a bump, I know!)

 

[Pherdinand]

Remy - i think the RFF clock is ticking in GMT time. That's one (sometimes 2?) hours ahead of us.

ManGo - the 60 second waiting time was there for...for long! at least since a year or such. You've really never bumped into it?

 

[Pherdinand]

ManGo - you're right with GMT :bang: what the hell was I thinking?😀

 

[RML]

Hmm. GMT or not, can I play? Or are we giving first choice to those who weren't in book1?

 

[rover]

Remy, we are having a bunch of discussions off line and soon will have an announcement. I am having some systems issues this morning at work, so hopefully I will be able to access my email account.

Oh, and you can set your RFF clock to be accurate for your time zone, somewhere. Check your USER CP.

Thanks for the clarification Gene. I think I'll order my copy now, as all this talk of book 1 has made me quite impatient!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have a few shots (from my Canonet QL17) that I would be interested in submitting for consideration for RF book #2. 🙂

 

[rover]

I have formally announced the book 2 project here

Let's close the conversation here and move it to the new thread. Thank you.

Guys. I just ordered book one and I can't wait to receive it. The preview looks great. I'm rather new here, but if I can help in any matters or also give a contribution to the book, please consider I'm in. Thanks for this wonderful idea.
