Nice...

When the times comes, we'll be waiting for some scans.

Odds are it will be hard to find in canada... thank you internet!

BlaRo · January 19th, 2006, 8:28 PM

I'll definitely buying it, even if it turns out to be crap, which is probably unlikely.

screw the scans, chances are that someone will torrent it in PDF form

Buba · January 19th, 2006, 8:37 PM

WTF? I'll buy it... Amazon will have for 11-ish Euros...

I see the point in downloading the eps since no money is lost to the BBC anyway, but you'd expect James Fans to buy it...

Electrastar~Indochine · January 19th, 2006, 8:40 PM

^ Quite right. £7.99 isn't going to break the bank is it. If anything the Amazon postage costs are what pushes the price up!

I'm hoping it's got some really old articles from Car in it.

Buba · January 19th, 2006, 9:02 PM

In Germany on Amazon book shipments are for free...

Electrastar~Indochine · January 19th, 2006, 9:30 PM

No way! Unfair! I'm planning on taking the ISBN number to a local bookshop and pre-ordering it that way, thus avoiding P&P.

Buba · January 19th, 2006, 11:45 PM

Yeah I checked earlier. Its 12,95 Euros with free shipment...

Hopefully Barnes and Nobel will get it, they got me Perry McCarthy's (Black Stig) book, for like $15 bucks US with no shipping charge

I've got some of his articles from car magazine, his writing style is alot different then than it is now. In one he describes how he drove a rolls royce naked. images/smilies/eek.gif

His book should be a good seller but I doubt it will get to the top of the charts like Clarkson's do as he is less well known, which is a shame.

James wrote for CAR magazine?

I've got that one too, although I think it's been hyped up a lot 10 years later (due to nekkidness)!

Fangirl · January 20th, 2006, 9:00 PM

The book comes out the day after my birthday so I already have a post-birthday present lined up!
