Received my copy for Christmas.
I believe it was from Amazon.
It seems like a very comprehensive, easy to follow guide to a lot of the projects that I wouldn't normally try. I definitely support the theory that having the book at hand is easier than clicking through all of the pictures on an online site (invaluable though that resource is).

Got mine for x-mass!
Great job.
Already used it on page 60.
Used my Durametric software to check my camsaft positioning sensors as an sign of IMS failure. Mine were 0! It was a great to see that!
Thanks
Wayne

Just got my book from Pelican (with signature from Wayne :-)
Believe me, YOU WANT THIS BOOK!!!!!
It's like the "Bentley for Dummies" (in a very good way).
Lot's of color pictures. And what I liked that it includes references to aftermarket parts where it makes sense. There is even a section which discusses engine swaps and one about Turbos and Superchargers, you won't find that in the Bentley 
The only article which was surprisingly missing was how to install an underdrive pulley, strange.
But otherwise a really GREAT book, go out and order yours!

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.

Thank you all for so many kind words! The book is indeed selling well - Amazon has sold out at the moment, but we still have plenty of copies in stock.
If you have a free moment, and you like the book, I would really appreciate it if you could put up a review on Amazon - I'm trying to quickly get to 20 positive reviews. I think that helps your ranking in the search engine on their site.
Thanks!
-Wayne

Got my autographed copy yesterday. Nice, nice book! A good quality printed product on a nice enamel gloss text. At 23.95 on the pelican site it is a bargain. Being in the printing/publishing biz I can guess what these cost to produce and it's not cheap folks!
Thanks Wayne!
