Hey Bigfellai5,

Thanks for that. When the book is available I will buy a copy. If book doesnt come out soon enough, then I might try the Renniks book this year.

Just noticed you sell Renniks as well. I will buy one or the other from you :wavemulticolor:

Thanks !

Hi Team,

It's obvious that the CAB magazine is a lot more reliable in coming out on time than I am.  I booked the advert space about six weeks ago when the book was all but finished. Didn't expect all the technical issues I had when I tried to transfer the files to a PDF file and then send off to the printer.  Anyway it was eventually sorted and the book is currently being printed.  Binding starts next Friday Sept 1 and should be in the shops soon after - maybe not in time for Fathers Day - sorry.  Thanks to everyone for their support and patience.

I would also endorse forum members purchasing their copy from Shane [Big Fella].  It's a brave person who can make a go of a bricks and mortar coin shop these days - especially when some muppet almost burnt it to the ground in a bungled breaking some years ago.  Despite his busy schedule, Shane was very generous in reading, proofing and suggesting improvements to a big slab of the new book.

This has been a very interesting thread and I have learned a lot about the pros and cons of an ebook.  Something I will get advice on after I have a well earned nervous breakdown.

Thanks to all.  Now the book is done at my end, I'll get onto the many emails that have built up.  Thanks again for your patience

Regards


Greg

Good news!!
Once youre back in the swing of things next years  will be easier
Maybe have a well earned holiday instead of a breakdown mate!

For an ebook - I'd highly recommend seeking a consultation with the Purple Penny business - I am most confident that you would get not only sensible rational and a high level of contemporaneous  IT expertise advice but you're dealing with people who know coins as well.

Thanks again and I hope the sales make the long haul worth it. Xx Robbie

+1
Well done Shane for giving Greg a hand with this new edition, Good on you Mate :good:
I for one will be getting this book when it becomes available from "Newcastle Coins" to support Shane's endeavours :ok:

is it out yet , my 10 yr old daughter wants to buy it for me for fathers day , or should i tell her to buy me something else?

Oh, well. I guess you can always look forward to a good old-fashioned refidex or a pair of socks. They're the traditional father's day gifts. :winkextra:

It's been a cold winter
Im going to suggest the sons get their father slippers
The  Myers catalouge has some nice looking ones in it

It's been a cold winter

Not in Brisbane. Our average temperature for August was 25°, and we even hit 32° on Ekka Thursday, so I was grateful they had the Pirate's Revenge flume ride there. I reckon they would have made a lot of money during this year's Ekka.

I am getting a gift voucher for bunnings now , i think they want me to do some work around the house instead of looking at coins

Gee we are still in the minus overnight
Averaging  -1 to -3 this week
A few weeks ago  -7

I am from Brisbane but haven't lived there for a long time. Still have family there though
Haven't been to the Ekka since I  was a teen
Always liked going but never remember it being that hot

It varies from year to year. We usually get a few really hot days in August, but most of them are in the low twenties. I find myself continually taking my jumper on and off, depending on what time of day it is. I lived in Canberra a few years ago, so I know how cold it gets down there. Just hang in there, and it should warm up around October or November.
