My wife pre-ordered my copy from Amazon, and I found it under the Christmas tree along with a random orbital polisher, a Ctek3300, and a Porsche tire gauge.
Very nice surprises! I wonder where she got those ideas.
I haven't been able to stop reading the book. It will be very helpful (in Spring). It is well written and organized, and has great pictures. I had already used the online information to resolve a convertible top issue last Summer.
Thanks Wayne!

Got my copy and already did a project!

My wife bought me the book and a PNP rear speaker kit last week for my birthday. I installed the rear speakers yesterday and the book had MUCH better color photos than the instuctions in the kit.

Overall, great book and the rear speakers really help the stock stereo sound like it should have straight from the factory.

I ordered my copy from Amazon on Christmas day and the mailman delivered it yesterday. Funny how some stuff ships UPS and other times they use the USPS.

I'm heading to Borders and if they don't have it then to Barnes and Noble for this book. I'm Boxsterless at the moment but the book sounds great.

Just ordered my copy from Amazon. Sorry Wayne, I didn't feel like paying Pelicans exorbitant shipping for your signature. Thanks for doing this, I look forward to my stereo upgrade when I return from Afghanistan.
