Like the book.
Now remind me what the load limit is on the roof? 120l fuel (unless they carry empty jerry cans) and a spare wheel' so that's what 150kg plus rack.

With huge thanks to euangibson who found them, look what's just arrived with me

Once I've priced up safe packaging and delivery prices then these will be on sale in the site shop, with all profits going to the Red Cross (the original beneficiary of the Journey of Discovery project).
The books are beautifully presented, amazing photography and production quality 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Oh yes, well done that man
If I may be so bold, would there be any chance you'd pre-reserve one for me, until such time as you get them up on the shop. I'd be afriad they'd go up for sale in the shop & by the time I spotted it, they'd all be sold out
Please, pretty please

Its a lovely thing indeed 8)
Before these go in the shop,I'd just like to put a little background info up here.
Firstly,a big thanks to Martin,who,when I mentioned this project,generously offered to run the sale through his shop.This will be done far more efficiently than me bubble-wrapping them in my kitchen
I would also like to thank FPCreative,the people who produced the book for LR.When they heard we would be donating all profits to the original charity,they reduced the cost per unit to us.
The book was produced as a direct commission by Land Rover,to celebrate the 1,000,000 Discovery rolling off the production line.
There were only 2000 printed for Global distribution,and although there is an ISBN number and an RRP,they were never intended for sale.
Martin will have roughly 100 for sale shortly,and when they are gone,that's it,this is the last of the stock...they will not be re-printed,this is your one chance to get your hands on a slice of rare Discovery memorabilia 8)"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...
