Bored Buddy Book!

Just received my copy of FlyBrick's book.
How cool is that!
I got it for my Dad and think it is a little impolite to read the whole thing before I give it to him, but it looks like there are a whole bunch of first hand accounts. I am going to be an Indian giver (politically incorrect, I know) and ask for it back to read after he is done. But since Brick inscribed it to hime, my Dad will get it back.

Since you gave it a good review, I think you should provide a complete plug, with the title and author.
In addition to providing good reading for any of us, it might be a great Christmas present, available from Amazon and other book merchants.

Of course I haven't read it yet, just skimmed it to check out the content. Dad will get to read it first.
It is FlyBrick's book:
Beaufighters in the Night by Lt. Col. Braxton "Brick" Eisel
I got mine directly from FlyBrick (I am sure you can PM him). I also have his email address. But I am pretty sure it is available through Amazon.

Oh, last time we talked about this, FlyBrick didn't have any on hand. By coincidence, I just ordered a copy from Amazon over the weekend.

My thanks to christie for her advertising for me and the kind words.
I do have some on hand and would be happy to sign/inscribe for gifts. PM me if you'd like.
Marley, thanks for getting a copy. If you want to send it to me - if Amazon can re-route it, or if not, mail it to me, and I'll mail it back.
Cheers (and tell all your friends!),
Brick

I would love to get one for my dad and for Sting. I would also love to have them each inscribed.
Which would be better for you, Flybrick - to have 2 bought from Amazon (and move your book up on the list - okay, just a little, but still) or to get them from you? I want to do what is best for the promotion of your book.

pea, thank you!
If you get them from Amazon, I can use the bump. Have them sent to me, I'll sign/inscribe and then mail to you.
PM for my address.
Thanks!
Brick

I wonder how many books a jump of 691,123 places in the ranking actual represents?

From ones that I know of, six...........
C'mon, folks, help me get to the bestseller list, if only for one day!!
Seriously, I am really grateful that those that have expressed interest followed through.

Absolutely! Brag away!
Speaking of avatars, though, where's that Beaufighter photo, FlyBrick?

You know, when I thought about this, I didn't mention WWTBAM.
Tells you why I come here and what is important to me.
