I suggested to Alwyn sometime back that he break it up into two or three books, with a lower cover price for each.

It will be released on a CD.....the problem is in costs$ of production. Plus most people will want to read the stuff from all the authors rather than choosing which book they want etc. With the CD's the money generated will be HUGE.

Gawsh, it's barely March 1st.

CD, huh? I just as soon have an ebook. Fast, no shipping time, no shipping fees. Still have to use the computer to read it.

No bother, I suppose. I'll get it in any case.

Ruslan, I wouldn't worry about it ... Alwyn will surely post the information here when the book is available ... he is a member here and knows that he has many interested on this site for the new book. He won't forget about us!! It sounds like the book is not quite ready as they are looking at printing options. Patience!!

Craig has a short blurb about the project in his blog this morning ... part of an interview with Alwyn ... http://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2007/03/na.html
Nothing about a release date, but about the format ... it's going to be on CD ...

Lift Strong




As most of you know - I am a two time cancer survivor and underwent a complete stem cell transplant in June of 2006.

To find a cure for cancer -- we need to fund research. To fund research -- we need money. Plain and simple.

I decided it was time for the fitness community to give back. I approached several of my closest friends in this industry and asked them to contribute to a little "book project" that I had in mind - to give me a 3-4 page article.

This little "book project" turned into an 800 page monster! My friends did not disappoint me -- and we have now (to keep costs down - released this product as a CD with all the articles in pdf format on the disc). I have 55 authors who contributed. For less than 50c each - (if that matters to you) - you can read all their articles.

I also included my email diaries when I was going through treatment. This was a "live" in-the-trenches-on-the-frontline account of cancer treatment - everything that went through my head.

All the proceeds from the sale of this product go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.


We had over one million people read this blog last month. I had 22,000 people read my last article on t-nation.



If you were one of them -- I urge you to support this cause and purchase this CD. Your purchase WILL make a difference.



You are reading this today because I am alive after facing cancer twice.


I am alive today because of advanced medical treatment.


Medical treatment discovered by research.


Research funded by money.


Money sourced from donations.



Donations from people like you.



Please help.

AC

Hey Julie,

I just got in from work, haven't had a chance to check out Alwyns page yet, I'm usually on there everyday reading and learning.

Thanks for the heads up, I've just placed my order!

I just sent an email to my teachers at Humber College asking them to post an announcement on webct. For those of you who graduated before the internet was invented, webct is a site where teachers and students can all contact eachother, see course material, important announcements, send eachother email and ask questions regarding the course. Hopefully an announcement is made for this, because everyone in my program will (should) see it.

I'm ordering a copy as soon as I get my damn credit card. Should be really soon.

Great idea Alwyn. Good luck with it.

Trueprotein.com- 80 dollars and my Discount code BTR777 can get you 5040 grams of high quality whey protein isolate. Or you can go with Whey protein concentrate for the same price and get a whopping 6900 grams of protein. Now what is the better choice?

When you realize that trueprotein.com is the better choice don't forget to use my discount code BTR777

Ordered mine too.
It was only $10 shipping to South Korea! Wow. I'll admit I was a bit dissapointed when I heard that it was going to be in ebook format but theres no way I can argue with those kind of shipping rates.
