Books are not inexpensive these days, folks. Nineteen bucks for this kind ofinformation is a lot of bang for the money. Try buying computer books, ifyou think this is expensive!Mike-----Original Message-----PeckSent: Saturday, August 22, 1998 8:41 PMSubject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Woodworking bookWow ! a woodworking book that will probably keep your tail feathers fromfalling off 2000" in the air, And only for $19.00 with free shipping !Richard DeCosta wrote:> I just went to the EAA store website to order the Aircraft> Woodworking book that everyone raves about, and found that it> is $11 and _$8 for shipping_!

Richard:I found 'Wood Aircraft Building Techniques' by Poberezny on Amazon.comfor $11.95 but I couldn't get the web page to tell me what theshipping charges would be.I agree that the Eight Bucks shipping from the EAA is a ripoff. I havea friend who self publishes some technical books and he screamsbecause the 200 page manual costs him over $4 to print when he ordersquantities of around 2000 - so the $8 shipping represents ALL the EAAscosts and the $11 is their profit!Perhaps you could minimize shipping by ordering it with some otherstuff, such as the EAA Aircraft Welding book or one or more of theircombo offers - buy the books and get the videos at a discount.Ignore those rich guys trying to get you to shell out an extra eightbucks of YOUR money.Randy Stockberger-----Original Message-----

Hey,I have no doubt they love building and flying..................as much as they love money.That's fine, cause I like to make a dollar bill too. However, If you thinkEAA is a membership organization and not about making money you have yourhead in the sand.To demonstrate what I mean, next time your in Oshkosh tell Tom, "Hey Tom,I'm a member just like you. How 'bout tossing me the keys to the B-17 so Ican practice some touch and gos." See how far you get.John-----Original Message-----

Bruce,Your EAA chapter president or secretary will receive notice by mail. Also,you could probably call HQ in Osh and they could tell you. I'm sorry I can'tpin it down more closely, but it seems like it was in November...or maybeearly in the year, certainly by February.Don________________________________________________________________________________

I paid US$ 20.00 only for FEDEX shipping each of the EAA building books, andreally am satisfied with the material inside, learning is not free. Wellthe only book that was not really taht helpfull for me, was the one thattalks about registration proccess (in USA), here is diferent.Enjoy your learning (reading), it can save your lifeSaludosGary GowerGuadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. >Wow ! a woodworking book that will probably keep your tail feathers from>falling off 2000" in the air, And only for $19.00 with free shipping !>>>Richard DeCosta wrote:>>> I just went to the EAA store website to order the Aircraft>> Woodworking book that everyone raves about, and found that it>> is $11 and _$8 for shipping_!

This is abig plus for building "down under." I got a "YIPPEE" email from a friendin Adelaide yesterday who said there are practically elebrations in thestreets. Think of it, a country as large as the US and only 17 millionpeople to inhabit it. Lots of space to fly, but tons of roadblocks alongthe way. Nothing like a little common sense on the part of the authorities.I'm on another list (UK base) that covers general aviation in the UK andEurope in general. Be happy you fly here. The hassles, red tape, and FEESfor services would make you cry. Support EAA and keep the Feds in line.Ed ________________________________________________________________________________
