New Bellowsmaking Book

Hello:

I just released my new book on how to make bellows from scratch. The book discolses a brand new way to make bellows using your computer to do the hard work. The book is 64 pages long and has 86 CAD drawings and 13 photographs showing step by step instructions on exactly how to design and build straight and tapered bellows. With this book and a free CAD program or just a yard stick if you would rather, anyone can build their own inexpensive replacement bellows or go into business making bellows for sale on ebay. The book is spiral bound (lies flat) high qualiity photocopies with wear resistant covers

I will trade the book for three Silver Eagle coins available for about $40.00 USD at this time from a coin dealer near you. Or if you insist on using cash, check, money order or PayPal I will sell the book for $75.00 USD. Either way, shipping and handling is an additional $5.00 USD payable in cash, by check, money order or Paypal.

Thank you.

75 $ for 64 pages... Hmm. Bellows company in Britain will make you new bellows for that price...

Seems to me if you'll ever need more than one bellows in your life, the book might be a bargain...

Thank you Donald.

Hello GPS:

Every time I have asked them for a quote it has been more than $200 USD.

If you read all of the notice you will see that you can trade me coins worth about $44 for the book.

Thank you.

Hello Barry, it all depends on the belows dimension. The last time (and the only one) I asked them to make me belows it was much less than your 200$. By the way, the hardest work on bellows (I've made more than a dozen of them for my cameras and for my friends) is the manual folding, not the geometry work. No computer for folding, as of yet... You write clearly that for those using cash you have your special price of 75 $. That makes 80 with shipping.

OK. Thanks.

Hello:

I have decided to publish my book Modern Bellowsmaking myself which significantly reduced the price at which I can sell it.

The new price is $35 plus $5 shipping to US destinations. You can pay via cash, check or Paypal. Please email me for payment details.

Thank you.

Would you consider making one or two pages available for public viewing? Obviously don't pick some pages that give it all away! Pick a page or two (maybe just a paragraph or two) that clearly illustrate your writing style and the book's quality.

I really enjoy using the preview feature on Amazon.com. I think it has saved me from buying some stinkers in the past (not that you are a stinker:), I'm just cheap ).

$35 for a book isn't much but these days, with my current cash flow, $35 is enough that I think twice about spending it...

Thanks and good luck all around with your books sales.

Hi Rob:

Now folks here is a man after my own heart. Rob, I am also cheap. And only an honest man admits to being cheap. I like that in a person. I attempted to attach two pages as you requested but the smallest file was more than 4 times bigger than that allowed in this forum. One shows my lovely assistant Deborah Shaffer laying out a pattern for bellows to fit an old 5X7 piece of junk camera made in India. The second page shows one of the pages with drawings and illustrates just how minute the instructions are which are presented in this book. Each task is broken down into very simple steps anybody should be able to accomplish whether they are using a computer or drawing on kraft paper. Thanks Rob, this was a terrific idea. I wish it had worked. I can email them to you I bet. Please email me at barryjyoung@yahoo.com if you would like me to email them to you. That goes for everyone by the way.

Thanks again Rob.

We keep trying to have a meeting of the local cheapskates club but nobody wants to chip in for the hall rental... And don't even ask me about the procrastinator's club, gee whiz, those guys never get anything done!:rolleyes:

Anyway, I'll be emailing you so you can attach the files.

Rob

I will look for your email Rob.

Thank you.

I don't think Rob is cheap, he is just being careful about his purchase.

What's the price for knowledge? I'm sure, Barry is unlikely to sell thousands of copies (glad to be wrong), but spend hundreds of hours to share his knowledge. $80 is a small price for anyone who wants to know.

On the other hand, if you need quality bellows for a good price, yes, go to Camera Bellows in Birmingham. They made a new set for my Linhof for $150, and it's better than the Linhof bellows ever were.

Nope, I'm cheap. :) But "tightwad" might be a better adjective.
Thanks again Barry. (And picky too. ;))

Actually, when I decided to self publish, I reduced the price to $35. I am going to try Lulu to publish this work. We will see what happens to the price.
