Draft print quality will shave some weight - plus the "rear index delete" option will shave even more weight.

Yeah, a new prologue and epilogue... and maybe rewrite the table of contents, Lund style, to give it that nice dog-eared sound when you turn the pages.

I hear that the speed reader version is being held up due to California's regulations. Leave it to Cali to ruin everybody else's fun.

I heard as well that they have a library all setup out west where they can teach you to read it for free, but the library can't get their copies yet either, so it's not yet available.

You went with Amazon?? I heard they barely getting any allocations. You could be waiting until Feb. 2012 to get yours. Of course, then it would be the 2013 edition. I hear they're going to have some fancy new inks for that version.

I'm just wondering who's paying over retail for one?

I got a coupon code in an e-mail that I'm going to try to apply; anyone have this work?

Has anybody else been able to work a deal at retail? I have one on order but it is going to be from the third printing and I can't get my bookstore to give me any more details.

My librarian told me that coupon doesn't work for the Boss Mustang book. It only works for the Fiesta sales pamphlet, the F-150 shop manual, and the Transit Connect compendium.

For real ? You only need the fastest color, that is why they have Blaze in the name. You don't see the other colors with any kind of competition racing performance as part of the color name.

Scott is right you guys have lost it but please don't find it, I need the laughs.

i found two on the shelf in texas at MSRP, PM and I'll give details so none of these other delinquents steal it from under you. PS - you can get the LS book cover for more downforce when you use it to smack bugs, but it's not street legal.
