Mike Trim Book Arrives!

Hi all,

I guess the new Mike Trim book must be shipping, as I just
received my copy from Fab Gear today!

(I counted 17 pages -- a whole chapter -- devoted to UFO!)

It sounds like you are pleased with the purchase Marc! There is a
distinct possibility that I might be receiving a hardcover copy for
Christmas. I assisted Charlie in ordering it tonight from Fab Gear so
as long as his credit card is still good, my copy is on its way :) We
look forward to hearing more comments about the book from you.

The UFO section has lots of nice, large, well-printed photos of
Mike's pre-production artwork for UFO and also some publicity
photos from UFO. I'll stress "well-printed", as there's some
photos I've seen before but not to this level of detail. Also
it has Mike's story about the designs of the Moon Mobile,
Moonbase Interceptors, SID, Russian land vehicle, etc.

Most of the book is devoted to non-UFO topics, although the UFO
section is nice while it lasts! (and if you like the earlier
puppet shows, there's more photos and artwork from these)

Just received my copy too. It means that book reached the most distant
corners of the Planet : )
All the best,
Branko

I had to count 3 times - in my copy, there are 19 pages devoted to UFO.
Knowing that Marc is very accurate, it can't be him being wrong, so it must
be a 2 pages difference in UFO content between paperback and hardcover
editions...
All the best,
Branko

I think you've taken a closer look at this book than I have so far,
Branko!

I did however notice that my name was listed in the acknowledgments,
even though I had nothing to do with this book!

Hi,
You got them from FabGear?..... will Amazon be carrying this, also?

Yes, although they still list it as being a "pre-order":

It would be great if they were offered on Amazon. FabGear isn't exactly known for 'deals' on items. But I have always been impressed with their excellent service. : )
