Hi all... I just noticed a trash-talking review of "The Recumbent
Bicycle" book up at Amazon.com. It's been on the "top" of the reviews list for a few months now. Sheesh. If anyone here likes the book, could you please post a brief review there? The guy gives the book "minus 5 stars" and says it's "vague." That it only has a "few" dark photos. Just a bunch of nutty, off-base raving. If you like the book, it's a shame to leave a wacko "review" on top of the list, as the first thing that people wondering about recumbent books see. Your input would be greatly appreciated! Constructive criticism always appreciated, etc. Thanks! --JP the all-new outyourbackdoor.com website! |

I loved the book, but putting in good reviews without buying from them
might raise a few eyebrows. It was just nearly impossible to get here without a 2 month wait; so I am sorry I had not tried Amazon first. Chris Jordan Santa Cruz, CA.

True! Amazon might get a laugh about how stupid I was! Borders
books looked, and in about a month phoned "can't find it. Must be a back order out of print". An '04 printing??? I forgot about it. Then 1 month later; another phone call "got it".

So, hey, once again: did any of you netizens like Gunnar's book?
If so, PLEASE post a remark to Amazon about it. It's at least as easy as posting anything to ARBR. Right? Anyone like 'bent media? Care to give it an EASY boost? Some nut posted a "Minus 5 Stars" review to Amazon. Do you agree with that assessment? You guys do AN AWFUL LOT of posting of evaluations of EVERY aspect of recumbents here at ARBR and at BROL, right? Any chance anyone wants to post their view of the book at Amazon? Maybe to refute the nut-poster in EXACTLY the same way that so many here just LOVE rebuting the nuts who show up here. Who's been publishing the ONE and ONLY book all about 'bents for the past few years now? Who's your daddy? If you appreciate 'bent media, please don't let that kook's "review" sit there on the top position. It's just taunting you, like any troll here. C'mon, put 'im in his place! A post like that wouldn't last 10 minutes here. Would it? Hello? Can I get an assist here? THANKS! --JP the all-new outyourbackdoor.com |

It's a great book and I enjoyed reading it over the course of a few weeks. Just submitted a review at http://amazon.com, but it will probably take a few days to be posted. -- ================================================== ======================= Bob Parnass, AJ9S GNU/Linux User http://parnass.com |
