Type R book.

Post by Stin1 » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:34 pm

Just found this and decided to spoil myself with the watch package. Spending money on me , not a car or house repair for once. This stomach virus must have gotten to me .

It's an awesome book.

Lionel, the author, will probably be joining us at Expo West this year too. :thumbup:

It's a limited print book, and I think he's getting to the end of the supply. King has been ordering copies and are available here:

He did the book himself, as-in, self-published it along with some crowd funding. I have a ton of respect for people who have that kind of dedication and initiative. It's a rare thing. :thumbup:

And yeah, it's a cool book. :D

Thanks for posting this! Just ordered a copy.

Car books don't make authors much money. They are limited printings and then they are hard to come by when they sell out. So cool he made a type R book.

Just doing my part . Not sure on the eefect bonus cost but king may be a little cheaper with the exchange rate. The book and watch worked out $10 cheaper than the watch I located which I bid on and lost. Totally respectful how it was published and self funded.

I can't comment on the eeffect items but believe that King is basically breaking even on the books.
