    Thanks Kev, yeah I'm not too sure why the publishers won't sell beyond NZ but I assume it comes down to distribution and advertising costs. But I will find out what their plans are on Monday.

    Greg it was awesome to catch up with you and your Dad. And thanks to you guys and to Chris Piaggi for escorting me around Auckland. I hate driving around that frickin place. If it weren't for you guys I'd still be up there now, driving around in circles, completely lost. Some clever person has invented a thing called GPS. Might have to get one of those! Maps suck.

    Looks and sounds to be a great book, one with world wide appeal. Also a great one to put together. I would love a copy, will have to contact my relatives in New Zealand. Can you let us know exact release date?
    Thanks.

    That would have been cool, but the budget didn't stretch that far unfortunately!

    I did the Beach Hop and Blowout earlier this year and was blown away with what I saw, first class, definately going back next year.
     
  28. Steve, is there any chance the book could be offered on a HAMB garage sale thread or store page or something?

    I think I would buy one...specially if its a picture book with real short subtitles.

    Im new here so I dont know if there is a swap meet page or classified add page here.

    I hope it gets offered here.
