Title: My first book - on sale now!
Post by: bluemoco on September 19, 2008, 11:21:56 AM
OK, time for some shameless self-promotion:

I'm really excited - my BMW book has been published!  It's in stores and available online from Amazon and Barnes & Noble (and many other outlets, too).

If anybody wants an autographed copy for the BMW rider in their lives, give me a shout.   I'm happy to oblige my MADDOG friends.  ;D

congrats on the book! Out of curiosity why did you pick BMW?

We chose BMW because collector Peter Nettesheim was available and willing to work with us to create the book.  All of the vintage bikes in the book were sourced from his collection.  We had everything in one place, at one time, and it was a done deal.

For my next project, I'm considering a Ducati book, and a couple of other ideas, too.     ;)

I'll certainly take one. Would you prefer I order from Amazon or buy directly from you?

If you want it autographed, I'll sell directly to you for a competitive price.  I have some copies on hand, and I'd be happy to meet you somewhere so you don't have to pay for shipping.

You're certainly welcome to order from Amazon, if you prefer.  Amazon's price is $26.40, and it's eligible for Free Shipping. 

Send me a PM or email (info@rpmri.com) and we can sort it out.   [thumbsup]

Thanks for the compliment! 

Delivering books is a good excuse for a mid-day ride.   ;D   [moto]

I'd be happy to bring a book to you Gabe, but I'm not yet sure if I can make it to Italian night on Monday.

If I come down to Grumpy's, I'll bring a book for you.  If I can't make it, I'll definitely make alternative arrangements for ya.   [thumbsup]
