TomAiello 26 #26 January 29, 2005 QuoteI'm wondering, how do you order this book from canada? Since the author lives in Canada, I don't think it can be too hard. Have you tried Amazon?-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J_Cook 0 #27 January 31, 2005 I messed around with Amazon.com for about a month, they never shipped it. So I went to www.barnesandnoble.com and had it a week later. Just another route you can take if you're still trying to get your hands on a copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaapSuter 0 #31 January 31, 2005 I ordered from Amazon.com a week ago, and it shipped four days later. Haven't received it yet, but am not expecting any problems. Cheers, Jaap Suter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaapSuter 0 #32 February 2, 2005 I received the book from Amazon.com yesterday, and finished it the same night. It's a page turner! I can highly recommend it to anybody interested in Base. What I really love about the book is that it manages to capture the most important thing of all. After all the preparation, the education or lack of it, the packing, the climbing, the jumping, the landing, the traveling, potential b*llshit and all adventure; it's all about one and one thing only: 'having a good time with friends'. I also really liked the prose by the way. It reminded me a lot of the book "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman" which is about completely different things, but has the same anecdotal style to it.
