For dems dat's interested, I just ordered 1 black and white, and 1 color proof copy of the book from a printer. Still need to do a little work on the cover. Ya'll would never believe what goes into getting a book like this out onto the market -- unless you have an industry behind you to do all the complicated shit. The writing part is easy.

For the sharp eyed, you may have noticed that Encyclopedia is now in quotation marks.

Hi Freddy- I just want to make sure that I am on your list to receive your new book. I had sent you money earlier but never saw a confirmation from you that you received it. Thanks again for all your hard work,

Actually, I did send you a return email confirmation. You were #84. I just resent it again.

Man I thought you guys were sharper than this.

Hustler - one who hides true speed to make a game.

Book - not to be judged by cover.

Accounting book cover - content about hustlers. Subtext - real hustlers - wall street accounting/investment firms. :-)

:-) - symbol denoting humor

#96 is no longer available. Also, you may have noticed that Flyboy appears twice on the cover pics. Will fix. This is just a sample cover. The real dust jacket, because of the way I want it, is a major project -- for me at least. If I was an industry pro this would all be a hanger, but I am by myself and learning as I go.

Encyclopedia

Freddie-

Put me down for a copy of the book. I am not sure how to pay the $50 to an email address, because I always click on a PayPal link and confirm my password and purchase.

Can you post a picture of a PayPal logo which hyperlinks to your account so I can pay?

If not, I'll gladly call with my card #, but need your phone number via PM.

or

Can you post the ability to purchase this book on your website or something?
