Shameless plug here: you can now order The Steadicam Operator's Handbook online from the authors (Laurie Hayball and me...) at:

As the site says, expected ship date February 20th. US orders only right now....

 

Many thanks to all who helped make this book possible.

My order is in.

 

Jerry, thanks for putting the book together and getting it published. I know it was quite an undertaking, but I think is will be a great asset to everyone to have all that info in on place.

 

I look forward to reading every page.

It would have been nice if you could except paypal as well...I can only pre-order if I have a US residency which I don't. I live in Sweden...

 

I think Jerry will make that happen shortly after February 20th, because Jerry should know he has a lot of supporters overhere. Especially after

the re-release of the EFP DVD :)

 

Best, Erik

Eric, Charles, et al:

 

It just costs too much to send the book to countries other than the USA ($25 or more), so I suggest everyone outside the US buy the book direct from Focal

and you can change the region - this the the Europe site.

 

Amazon is another source.

 

I just got an advance copy, told the others are on their way.

To all European ops,

 

Jerry's book will be available on play.com. This is also the cheapest place to get it. 32.49 Euro. No shipping cost!

 

Most of you might have heard of the site, but for those who hasn't...it's a really good site. The merachandise will be fast also.

 

I just pre-ordered my copy from them.

All-

 

A little update.

 

The Steadicam® Operator's Handbook is still on track to be published (in the Focal warehouse) in mid-February.

 

I expect that by the end of next week, you will be able to pre-order the book directly from the authors. (Of course, you can order it now from Focal, Amazon, etc.).

 

I'll post again when the order page is up and working.

 

Jerry

Focal/Elsevier now says it is in stock, so it should be shipping soon (I'll start shipping as soon as I get my copies from them).

FYI "the book" is now in stock at (at least) Focal and my own humble distribution center... which means that those who pre-ordered from me will have their books shipped on Monday. Many thanks again to all who helped make it possible.

I got my copy for Jerry's book today in the mail.

All I can say so far is... Wow!

 

It is a large book full of color in every way. I know Focal press puts out all the books in our industry, and some are thin on content, but this book is worth every penny.

 

I had preordered it through amazon, and it showed up today. I am sure there will be many great reviews in the coming days.
