You mean do the things he did the first time around releasing the book?

Do you think he has an bottomless chest full of money or do you think he prints these on hopes and dreams? I think neither of those is the case.

Awesome. I have signed up for that.

My sister tried to grab me a copy of the hardback for christmas, but it had already sold out. I've been itching to get my hands on a copy ever since ... plus this one will be signed, so it can proudly sit with my collection of autographed memorabilia :)

For the first book he must have financed it somehow obviously.
For the second edition he doesn´t need to since other people will do that for him.
That´s 9 grand he doesn´t have to pay this time despite raking in profts from the first edition.

After the failed kickstarter, I had given up hope of getting a copy of this, but Adam has had it reprinted in paperback and is selling copies for £15 ... his site has no ecommerce function, so you have to download an order form, complete it and email it back to him so that he can send you a paypal invoice, but I think that is a small price to pay for this rare and novel insight into the workings of F1.

I returned my form today and was surprised to receive a confirmation signed by Adam himself! I would recommend that anyone keen to get a copy acts soon, as supplies are no doubt limited.

The form can be downloaded here (taken from Adam's facebook page) : http://www.scribd.com/doc/188876810/The ... order-form
