New Eldo guide

Steve Levin's new 448-page full-color Eldorado Canyon: A Climbing Guide is available for pre-purchase and comes with a free eBook. As the book weights three pounds, the eBook will great for printing individual topos, etc. Also, 10% of all pre-orders goes to the Action Committee for Eldorado. Locals can pick up the book at the Boulder Rock Club rather than pay postage. Also, ACE is hosting a book signing party at the AAC in Golden. The books should arrive October 10. Check out a sample and order the guide at sharpendbooks.com

Bob,

Sorry about that. Our shopping cart isn't very sophisticated. The auto response just uses the default shipping. When you get the receipt, you'll see that no shipping was charged. Thanks. Enjoy!

Unreal. The photography alone is worth the purchase. The new Gold Standard for Eldo guidebooks by far. Steve, this is masterful. I just spent hours gawking at the eBook and am now finishing this post so I can go back to it. Goodbye the rest of my day - hello new guidebook!

Sell your cat, dog, car, whatever and order this book immediately! I joyfully await it's physical arrival via mail.

When will be in the stores? BRC or Neptune's?

When is the AAC event?

thanks

Is anyone else having trouble with the eBook? I downloaded it, but when I try to unzip it, I get "invalid format" when I try both WinZip, and the native Windows Vista unzipper.

I've downloaded it 3 times now, it's not a corrupt download.

Appears to me that it has to be unzipped before the LizardLocker will display it.

Frustrating...

nick, i had the same problem. email fred and he will send you a cd in the mail pronto. i had the cd the next day.

i've had trouble downloading as well. I think it has to do with the network i'm on though.

I had the same problem as well. You can work around it by downloading some open source software, wget, from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/pa… install and then run the command
wget sharpendbooks.com/ebooks/El…
The guide book looks great, good job Steve !

We've definitely encountered some download issues, as the file is quite large so that the pages print well. It is important to right-click or option-click (Mac) for the download. Even them it sometimes logs out especially on large workplace networks. I will put it up on an ftp site which seems to have fewer problems and I will include that information shortly. I apologize for any problems. Also, please carefully read the email for unlocking the book. It is important to click the license attachment at the bottom.

Cheers,

I had some problems too, but w/ a fast turn around from Fred problems solved. Bear with them as this is a first for Sharp End to work with the eBook technology.

The likely hood of the masses using wget is beyond conception. This should just download without pause. That's a server side problem and not client issue (i.e., Browser).

Thanks for all the troubleshooters helping out. I have purchased a yousendit subscription and am now emailing the file with the order. It seems to be working very well.

Works via ftp! Thanks Fred. Looks awesome. 448 pages!

this is, hands down, the best guidebook that i have ever seen. it is absolutely top notch in every aspect - accuracy, proofreading, photos, layout, aesthetics. this raises the bar so high that i feel sorry for future guidebook authors. great work steve and sharp end.

I had trouble too on the win box. Brought it down on the linux box just fine :)

I was just able to download the eBook this morning and I haven’t had much time to go through it but I got to say that I’ve been blown away with the guide book. It’s simply incredible. From the history, the route pictures, the layout, it’s a work of art.

When I pick up my copy of the printed book, it’s not going any further than the coffee table at home! The ebook is great … print off a few pages and stuff them into the pack ...

Thanks for raising the bar.

this ebook has seriously killed my billable ratio at work this week. i hope i don't get fired...

does anyone know how the DRM works on this? If I open it at work, can I still open it at home? I'm not familiar with LockLizard's DRM.
