Mine finally got here today after USPS initially delivered it to the wrong address. In between local shutdowns for a Capitol invasion and an inauguration, it was forwarded and finally showed up here today.

It's been a nail-biter of a month here...

I just began reading this book and so far I like it. Not a conventional type layout, but very creative wit lots of great insight.

I'm still waiting for mine. There seemed to be a problem with my method of payment, but Brian emailed me of the issue. I mailed him a check. That was a few days ago. Hoping to get it soon!!

I received number 432 on New Years Eve, but have only just had the chance to get a good look at it. Very impressive stuff.

I just finished reading Binnie's wonderful book, and while I won't spill any beans, the book is way more than just the story of building and flying SpaceShipOne. It's very well written with great explanations of technical details.

There are lots great photos, humor, and of course all of the extras thrown in. I give the book and Binnie an A+!

Received #586/600. It didn't include the signed postcard and was hoping someone would trade their postcard for any of the other signed card/picture included. Please let me know. Looking forward to reading this!

Received my copy today (589/600), a very nice publication. Mine came with three unsigned postcards, one signed and a signed portrait of Binnie but no flown items. Looks like it'll be a great read.

I just read the messages from Ken H. and others regarding the postcards.

When I questioned Brian, he offered to hand certify each of our postcards from Oct. 4th as flown that came with our books; can't want anything better than that offer.

It is a great book and was a wonderful package. I believe Brian when he says all were flown regardless of the date but down the road, the ones that are certified will be much more attractive from a value standpoint.
