Saw this today while thumbing around on Amazon. Dosen't come out till July 2011, but they are taking pre-orders. Looks like it could be a pretty decent addition to the coffee table or bookshelf.

Ordered one today.
I ordered one last christmas, was expecting it last month. Just received an email from amazon that they are trying to locate a copy for me. They must be waiting for 10,000 orders or something before they print a run. I would be frustrated, but knowing what it is like waiting for ducati stuff, I have grown a lot of patience. There's pretty much no way that I've found to actually contact a live person to find out what's going on. On the account manager, it just gives you the option to cancel the order. Anyone else have the same experience?

Especially waiting for Ducati stuff in August...
Should have used a classic Monster for the cover.

From the review:
And I have to say, the original Monsters are meaner, leaner and cooler looking than latest iteration, which appears to me to be a bit like a smiley-face Dove bar eating, Starbucks-drinking iPhone version of the original Monstah. [laugh] [laugh]

Yeah but it's cheaper on Amazon UK. £18.39 compared to £30 from the publisher.

Cool, that works. I didn't see that they had it available.

+11 billion on that...
Of course with all the recent posts and threads regarding the new Gen monster ( and accompanying newb questions/silly comments regarding new vs. Old(?) )... I'd venture to say there's a growing rift between the new breed and classic styled Monsters..
Putting a New monster on the cover would make sense to try and capture the eye/interest with both new Monster owners and prospective buyers...
or maybe I should quit mixing pain meds and good beer before getting on the 'puter...... ;D
Thanks for the heads up... [clap]
Just ordered a copy from amazon.co.uk... [thumbsup]

Looks good so far. It's a nice weather weekend, so I'll be riding and not reading.
Mine came in the mail today! looks like a great book so far. I have read the first chapter.
Got mine today, too.....
Will do a book report later ;D
