If you don't recieve your book in 2 years and call wondering where it is, they will cancel your order and keep your money....sounds about right!

Re: A Dumble Book !
I just forwarded the link to my attorney to read the terms. If it seems like it might actually ship and be delivered I'll buy one. I'll let you know what I find out.

Really? I thought he was dead. Well that is a good thing then. I would never wish death on anyone (except my mother in law, lol/JK), but I honestly just read somewhere a month or two ago he croaked... glad to be wrong!

Re: A Dumble Book !
Ok so here is what I got back...
they are based in Europe probably Swiss, so they are punishable by law to some degree, but it's your dime to fly over and press charges.
It's probably legit, but he suggests going to your bank and setting up a second internet account and tell them you need to make a wire transfer or deposit to a foreign bank account. Most banks will be able to assist. That way they can't sell your bank account numbers or flush out your account. Just put in $300 to cover any surprise fee's. and close it when the funds have been removed or the book arrives.
He also suggested to just wait and buy it used on ebay.
the last couple words of advice. ship it to your work and give as little personal information as possible, set up a free email just for this transaction, as it will be sold for a profit to marketing.
Oh and until the book arrives kiss your $300 ($200 for book + $45 shipping + ??? + Duty fees) goodbye but cross your fingers and hope for the best.
Cheers!

Re: A Dumble Book !
I remember when this popped up before.
I did a Google search then and I just did one.
Try it yourself, Jesse Schwarz
There are plenty of entries for Jesse Schwartz
But I don't see anything for the original spelling.
That to me is a red herring.

Re: A Dumble Book !
it would be really cool to have but yeah i get a bad feeling about it.
Am i Mistaken or is it still not finished? it was slated for November but they only got the proofs and say to stay tuned. ???
fuck it you only live once right? and as far as i know i can't take my money with me.... Why not if they ever actually get them pressed then i'll order one and if they sell out i'll just buy it on ebay for $400. at least i'll know it's real.

Got my copy
It indeed exists, and is very well done indeed.
Not necessarily a TON of new stuff, but certainly one of the best compendiums of knowledge and pictures on the subject in once place.

Re: A Dumble Book !
have you seen one in person? or own a copy? How long did it take to recieve your copy and how was your experience in dealing with them?

My copy
I received a copy from the author as a gift. I spoke with him a few times during the preparation of the book, and found him to be quote professional.
The quality of the book is excellent.
