BRD is shipping today, 6 Jan
 

I received today an advance copy of the BRD.

It is the best ever - and the best job of printing/binding.

Thompson Digial in San Antonio did that work, and they did it very well indeed.

Right Sports began shipping out the books this morning!

If you ordered early, then your book may be in the mail by the weekend.

If you haven't ordered yet - and want one in a timely fashion - you need to get in the queue; otherwise, you may have to wait for the second printing.

Business is brisk: So says Teresa, the administrative assistant who oversees packing and shipping.

Review by the author?
 

I thought the review was supposed to be by an outside party? (g)

I am looking forward to getting mine, then I can post the third party review.

Thanks
David

Re: Review by the author?
 

When I ordered the 2005 BRD, I figured I would pick up a couple of Carl's other books. I didn't realize I would be quoted so often (50 More Ways To Ruin A Baseball Game).

I'll be on the lookout for the book and will post a review as well. Of course, I probably won't get to it until hoops season has finished. And there's the matter of my new daughter, due to arrive between now and the 27th....

You should hope it's the 27th. That's my wedding anniversary. 44 this time.

BTW: They starting mailing out the BRD last Tuesday. Yours will get there.

congrats Rich
 

a new daughter, have fun.

Congratulations

Thanks

No baby yet, but I did get the BRD in today's mail.

This morning I had hundreds of "out of the office" e-mails from Carl Childress.

I had to flee from MS Outlook, as I feared the messages might go on forever. They were sent starting around 4:30 a.m. Apparently the messages went to a large group.

Anybody else experience that? Do you know anything, Carl?

I got 2001 of them.

Yes, a member of a private mail list I am on experienced the same thing. Endless "out of office" replies to a single email he had sent Carl.

Flee Outlook? You know these emails are probably filling up the space on your server. (If not a return receipt is probably pingpong-ing back and forth with his "out of office" notification).

Well, the e-mails stopped at something around 2,200. It was impossible to open the box with Outlook, so I used mail2web.com and deleted them through the back door.

Another glitch is that every time I try to order a BRD from officiating.com, the screen tells me I haven't entered enough information, even though I fill in every blank. Anyone else have that problem?

me too...
 

I have had problems with the officiating.com mail server. I don't think it is Carl - I think it is the actual system. On two different occasions I received in excess of 2500 copies of the same email from the same guy. When I talked with Carl about this, he said that he is making a visit to see Brad this week...hopefully that will fix this problem...

got my copy the other day.

Just got mine in the mail today 1/21.....At first glance it is very impressive......binding is a very good idea and it has a lot of good information....Very well thought out and very easy to read.....looking forward to reading more of it over the weekend...Two thumbs up from me!!

how do i get a copy of this?
