UPDATE: BOOK IS DONE ,DVD IS DONE, WE ARE NOW SHIPPING!
http://www.doodoedoll.com/store/ to order jump to the end of this thread to read reviews and other current info about the book and the DVD.
Ok guys I have some final details. and I can start taking a list of names wanting to buy the DVD, the Coffee Table book or both.
The DVD will be $25.00 A portion of each DVD 's price will go to the Guys that put on the 25th show to help offset their costs. The DVD's will be professionally printed and in a real DVD box with a full color jacket on them, I'm not making them in my basement, a professional DVD company is making them, these are the real deal.
The Book details have been finalized. I'm not crazy about the price but I am unwilling to front the money for 10,000 copies to get a better price on them, so I have to use a publisher that lets me do very small runs. The book will be a 10X8 hardcover book with a printed dustcover and 80 pages of Fiero goodness of the best cars there as well as some general event photos and more. The book will be around $43.00 plus shipping, I need to figure out what the shipping will be. The book will go 120 pages but the price jumps up to $50.00 per book. At those prices I'm making $1.00 on each book to cover my expenses. I just want to have something else out there about the event.
the books are full glossy pages and will look fantastic, they will look like most car photo books you find at the bookstore that are the 10X8 size.
If you are interested in getting one or the other or both please let me know here or in a PM. I would really like to know how many I need to order when I send everything out a few days after the event. If you are interested in pre-ordering them, please PM me for details.
If I can get more than 100 orders for the books I can give a $5.00 discount on a DVD and book Combo package.
UPDATE: I have decided with the help of the great guys here to up the page count to 120 pages. This will make the book $50.00. I have updated the above info to reflect this.[This message has been edited by timgray (edited 12-19-2008).]

I definitely want a DVD and possibly a book. Am I correct to assume that there is no way to see what the book looks like before ordering? ------------------

Hard to preview a book with lots of photos of the 25th anniversary show, prior to the show. To put together a book of this magnitude with the editing etc will may take a few months. At $40+ per book, someone (pre orders or Tim) will need to front the cost to publish such a book. That is just the way it is.

I have had several ask about how the book will look, below is a link to a PDF example of the Motorcycle event I covered last year and turned into a book. That one was smaller and softcover and I made it for the local motorcycle shop that sponsored the event to sell.
http://www.blurb.com/books/72078 is the blurb online version covering a few pages with examples of the quality of photos in the book. That one was a preview I made to show the customer and did not have any proofreading done so please excuse the spelling and grammar mistakes.
The Fiero 25th book will be similar but with a full bleed cover instead of a black design with smaller images. I hope to have more text about specific cars from their owners instead of a generic event book like the example above.
Book timeline is about 8 weeks after the show, my editor/writer will have a lot of free time then and she is willing to do it for free so we can at least get it out there to offer.[This message has been edited by timgray (edited 07-08-2008).]

good enough for me! I just wanted to see an example of the quality of the book. I understand that the book won't be done for a while after the 25th, so I'm glad you had a similar example. Put me down for one of each.
