On my christmas list.

 

I'm all over this

 

I recon it will be a must have.

Craig or anyone had a early look see?

 

Just ordered my copy. Fingers crossed its here in time for Christmas as I have some time off so can get stuck into it... "Turn down the Queens speech Mum I'm trying to read Benno's book"

 

Where did you order your copy from Griff?

 

Emailed the address Admin posted above asking for more info, and got a reply from Sandro Nigg - sent my postal address and Bob's your fathers brother.

PS Forwarded you the details

 

Thanks, I had already e-mailed but had no response.

 

Anyone got a copy yet ?

 

Received an email yesterday saying it had been shipped.

 

As an add on heres a link I posted on the Barefoot Running thread in which Benno talks a bit about the book: http://bit.ly/gLLWRu

 

Got my autographed copy last week. Looks good on initial skimming. Maybe I'll have time to look at it more on my flight over to Spain in a few weeks.

 

Mine just arrived today .. will get to reading it ASAP!

 

My copy came today.

In my girlfriends own words: "You looked happier opening that package than you did opening the Christmas present I got you." Meh... whaddaya gonna do...

 

Mine is in the post.

 

Mine in post to. I'll read but as to understanding.......! Might become a barefoot specialist :)

 

There's a whole chapter on barefoot concepts so you'll be fine either way mate!

 

Hi- any early opinions yet?

My budgets already been blown for this year, but if it's as interesting as it looks might have to ignore that and get it anyway!

 

Only really scanned it so far, but seems to be very good, much better than my last couple of purchases. I've read the chapter on orthotics- pretty good. Really like the short, bold summaries for sections of text, means you can speed read.

For those who got signed copies, what did he write in yours? I got:
"Simon Spooner
The foot is the most important structure for locomotion
Benno Nigg"

I'll get stuck into it tonight.

 

Budget for the year blown just 16 days in... Impressive! I've read a couple of the chapters and all I'll say is find the £68 from somewhere and get involved if you can.

That's what I got too: http://twitpic.com/3q1vs6

 

Agreed, relatively a lot of money, but so far it's the best book I've read since Kirby volume 3, with the possible exception of "sh!t my dad says" ;)- if you haven't read it, do. Thanks, Griff.

Signature-wise, the only difference is the name, but hey.... this guy, with a biomechanics brain the size of a universe, is sitting there signing books. How inspiring do you think he finds that process? Although I was hoping for a "big shout out to Big Dog..." etc.

 

I'm delighted with mine. Just need to ask Kevin to sign his for me too. Then invest in a book storage unit akin to the one in the Da Vinci code...

 

What you haven't got signed copies of Kirby volumes 1-3 sitting in a walnut bookcase in your study?

Perfect opportunity to get them signed at Manchester in June. The bookcase, you may have to work a little longer for.:morning:

 

This threads reminds me of when a new twilight book is released!!!! All the excitement!!!

 

One day I hope to own many leather bound books in a study which smells of rich mahogany. Until then I guess I'll have to continue with printed off PDFs on my bean bag...

 

Gee I have dreams of a Bean Bag - Fatboy Bean Bags

Saw this massive one last year said to the trouble and strife , I would love that when I´m reading.

Got the look that said - where would we put it, what are you thinking, sometimes I don´t understand how your mind works.

Not one word mind you - :confused:

 

I would offer to sign it for you...

 

Cool maybe I´ll get the go ahead.............;)

 

You mean one like this Mikey? ;)

 

Mine just arrived, Clearly Benno has read some of my posts and decided that I don´t deserve a signed copy.

Nothing.... probably got better things to do with his time.

Look forward to having a read..

 

right then, i'm about to order this book-any early indications ? worth the pennies?

 

Have you read the previous posts in this thread?

 

Yes I've seen them, people have skimmed it and recommend the book based on the man's reputation. I have skimmed books before and on closer examination not liked the book. But thanks for the recap

 

I don't have the money in January for this buts in on the radar. I do however have the pleasure of using the said beanbag and Simon you should get one. Only problem is they make a hell of a noise if your get drunk at a party and have to sleep on it all night!!

 

The Arena'ettes liked it:

 

oh well on that recommendation it's a no brainer. best dust off my fairywings.........

 

Nilsen, Ive read 70 pages now Nigg is discussing muscle tuning. Gets you thinking. So worth the investment so far ? Yes.

 

Does anyone know where I can get a copy? The only one I can find is $1600 on amazon!!

 

Might sell mine to you for $1500
