MSHP photo books!

[mustangretriever]

Hi all! I've assembled a hardbound photo book with some history and facts mixed in about the Missouri Highway State Highway Patrol SSP's! It's 10"x9" with 26 pages and has 52 (mostly color with a few B&W) photos of various MSHP Mustangs. I assembled this for myself and any other MSHP nuts out there. If anyone wants to buy one one, you're welcome to purchase one at my cost. They're not cheap though! They are $36.00 each but through next Tuesday I can order them for $29.00 each + $7.00 shipping each. So, before next Tuesday, they're $36.00 with shipping or after next Tuesday they're $43.00 with shipping. I'm selling these at cost, no profit here.

If you want one, I'll take Paypal only sent to: ecprince@sbcglobal.net. I'll place the order next Tuesday to give folks plenty of time to order one. If you buy one, you should have it by January 31st.

Also, I'm almost ready to debut my MSHP SSP restoration and history guide, it's going to be 55 pages but won't be bound unless I take it to OfficeMax and have a cheap bound done. It'll be available for purchase (probably less than $10) and it will be posted on both SSP sites too.

Here's a few pictures of the first book I got today, they turned out really nice! Except for a couple minor text edits which have already been corrected as seen in the last photo here...1998 Mustang?

What a great idea you had. Will it be selling at Barnes and Noble? Maybe you could sign the book for us also.

Did they call the Mustang a 1998 model on that page you show?

Yes, that's one of the edits that's been corrected. The first copy I got needed several text corrections.

[mustangretriever]

Woohoo! The books arrived today and they look great, I'll be mailing these out tomorrow by first class mail!

Eric,

Got mine today...that is friggin awesome. Thanks!

[jarhed123]

Got mine two days ago. It looks great. One thing, the latin officers last name is Villanueva not Villanveva.:D

[NoDrama43]

eric, do you have any left?

[mustangretriever]

Oh Crap, I forgot to respond to your PM Jim, sorry!

I ordered extras but I ended up selling them all, I can order more but they'll be at the higher price of $43 (that includes shipping). Let me know and I'll order one for you, or for anyone else that still wants one.

My paypal address is: ecprince@sbcglobal.net

Yea, I knew that but I missed an edit. Obviously I shouldn't apply for any jobs as a copy editor!

Eric, I was wondering if my copy had got lost, turned out it had been delivered to my daughter and son-in-law's home. They have been out of town for a few days and just got back. The book turned out really well, thanks for all of your efforts.

You mentioned doing another book. For a free copy I will volunteer to edit it. That is what I do for a living as technical writer/editor.

Hmmmm, I guess since your son-in-law paid it went to his address. I used the postage feature of paypal to print my shipping labels for me, so whatever address was listed on the paypal account is where it went. Sorry! Glad you liked it though!

I do want to do another book showcasing the entire history of the MSHP vehicle fleet. I've started it but I need to collect a lot more pictures. I hope to make it more like a typical book you could buy at a book store, give me another year or two on this one!

I had these printed through Kodak. I got another 20% off email coupon yesterday so I can order them again at the cheaper price if anyone wants one still. Through this Wednesday Feb 13th they're 29.00 each + $7.00 shipping making the total $36 for each book.

If you wants one still just send the $36 via paypal to me: ecprince@sbcglobal.net

Eric, paypal out to you today.
