    I had pre-ordered mine, so it came in the mail via Amazon...

    And now I'm going to have to pick up a couple other copies to send to the folks. Look Ma, I'm famous!

    Teej: The fame is well deserved. And you made my job really easy, with great photos and a really fun story. Hope the kids dig it, too!
    Thanks man,
    Scotty

    They love it. I can't seem to finish reading it as every time I pick it up they only want to go to one page. But, as far as I've made it I have to say I feel honored to be among some of those folks. Wow... It's a great page turner with something for everyone.

    Hey Teej: I saw on the news that you had a big day at the office! Congrats!!!

    I'm extra happy that the kids like the book, since they totally set the tone, from the frontispiece, on! Don't be surprised to get some calls from photographers wanting to rent those guys out for future shoots...

    Yes indeed, it was a great launch. Kind of bittersweet, being it's last ride, but amazing nonetheless. One more to go! Go Atlantis!

    I just got my copy in the mail from jangleguy. I must say it is an amazing tribute to the American station wagon. Well Done Scotty!(y)

    My copy arrived last week, but I've been out of town, and just now saw it. Wow, Scotty! I am so impressed! Looks fantastic! I can't wait to read it. David :)

    Wow! Thanks for buying the book, you guys! Sounds like everybody in town bought one! Sales have been really good and I'm very humbled, to say the least...

    Fannie: Don't take pity on me. Any pain I have has been self inflicted, due to unrealistic prioritizing... And I can't get anything on my upholstery, as I don't have any - my wagon is a total beater. Luckily, I'm just fine with that. In fact, I'm the luckiest guy in town. I lead a very rich life, doing what I love all day, every day. Thanks for gambling on a copy, Fannie! I hope you enjoy the book and it inspires you in some way.

    Can we send our copies to you to have you autograph them?

    So, how many copies did they print? Or will they just keep printing them as sales continue? Can you share sales numbers? (Just curious ..)
