Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
Thanks for the interest! The book is coming along nicely. Most pictures are inserted and its been through the first round of proofreading. The cover is 90% done. Recently, we completed an interview with Jeff Osterhage from "KITT vs KARR". Right now, the book is about 530 pages. We are still aiming for a release in late July/early August. Keep checking back for updates!

Can't wait for this new book to come out. I have Legacy and Companion already. I'll probably buy the hardcover version.

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
Congratulations on finishing the book, Joe! I can see already that you and David have devoted an incredible amount of time and effort into making this happen and I applaud you both for it! I will definitely be ordering a copy as soon as it becomes available, probably the hardcover edition. Can't wait to see more from the book!

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
Well now I'm so excited! Like REALLY EXCITED WHOOO! ooops caps.
About the only thing that I dislike is the front cover. The picture of Michael doesn't seem like the best one you could of picked. It seems a little ordinary, and with the large collection of photos in your collection, I'm sure you can pick a better quality one.
and also... WHERES KITT? I can't seem to find him on the front cover. Isn't it against the law to publish anything knight rider related without featuring KITT?
But anyways, I'm so looking forward to buying this book. Great Job Guys, a fantastic job
But, one question, whats the shipping costs? I live in the UK, so any estimates will be great

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
Don't worry - I'm not happy with the front cover either. It's going to be completely reworked. Everything else turned out nice.
Regarding the picture of Michael - yes, I have tons of better ones of him, however I do not have, and cannot get, the rights to use them.
Stay tuned....will be released by the end of July.

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
Sounds Brilliant! The only worry I have is, how will fans in the United Kingdom get a copy? Any idea on shipping prices for a book that size etc?
Well Done!

Our publisher has a UK office as well, so books sold in Europe will be printed in Europe, reducing the cost and time it takes to get one to you!

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
The sample copies sold almost immediately - thanks to all who were interested! The new cover is being prepped for the printers. MANY thanks to Rob Ormondroyd, who designed this all-new, absolutely stunning cover!
Hopefully, my next post is saying that the book is ready to be purchased!

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
Amazing job here Joe. I love this last cover better. It reminds me a shot of David inside the mobile unit set, just on the opposite side of Kitt.
This is gonna be another jem for all of us. I'm dying to have my pèersonal copy.

Re: Special Announcement: Coming Summer 2012...
That is TONS better! Apart making the purple highlight at the top of the cover red, (but that's really nitpicking!) theres really nothing i would change. Great Job!
And the idea of 30 years of knight rider, with a modern day pic of David is a smart idea too
