Default Major progress on the NCHSP Restoration Guidebook

So far I have about 36 physical hours into the "typing and formatting" stage of the document. Like many things with this hobby, it is difficult to pull away from once you start working on it. Getting very close to having it at a point of being able to print off for a deep edit.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone that would like to buy a bound one of these from me. To be clear I am not doing this as a money making venture. Rather I need to avoid being out of pocket on the cost to have place like Kinkos print and bind them along with shipping cost in order to mail them to folks. At this time I don't know what that cost will be but that will be driven by the number of you who want to buy one of them. My goal, with a little help from the USPS, is to have them in your Christmas stocking.

Don't want to print any more than people would like (to avoid out of pocket cost to myself). By the same token want to take advantage of a quantity rate on the printing/binding as I won't be going back for 1 off binding/prints as will likely be quite a bit more costly.

Thanks for your feedback.

Default Completed NCSHP Restoration Guidebook

Hello,

I've finished my North Carolina State Highway Patrol SSP Mustang history and restoration guidebook (42 pages counting the front cover). To that end I'm ready to obtain pricing to print and bind it. To obtain the best pricing possible this will be the only time Volume 1 is professionally printed and bound.

So far I've heard from 3 different people who have specifically expressed their interest in buying one. Also if you have let me know you would like one, please confirm that by responding to this post or sending me another PM message to confirm your interest. Just want to make sure I have a good count as the number of interested people will directly impact how many I have printed and bound and therefore overall pricing.

Please let me know via this post or a PM message by Friday if you would like to obtain one. I will then obtain a quote for printing/binding + domestic shipping. Once I have that in hand, I will send a PM message to those who let me know they wanted one and request a PayPal payment.

Thank you and feel free to let me know if you should have any questions.

Default Update on the Guidebook

A quick update for folks. The guidebook is done. I've obtained printing cost and just need to obtain a cost to ship. For those who have reached out I'll be contacting you in the next few days with a price and requesting pre-payment through PayPal before I go to print. If anyone is interested and hasn't contacted me I still have the flexibility to include you in my order, but would need for you to send me a PM message. Thanks everyone for your patience...I think it will be worth the wait.
