Dan John's new book Never Let Go is now out. I've ordered my copy so I will let you know what it is like. If his other writing is anything to go by, it will be fantastic!

You can order from http://www.davedrape...oduct/BDJN.html

They ship to the UK - it costs $12, although when placing the order you'll have to select the standard postage option on the form. However they do charge the postage at cost or so I have been assured.

That's interesting - I will ask the Drapers about that.

Amazon.com has it too so I assume they are on the level with it. The .com price is $16.47 ($8.48 off RRP).

Same happened with the Rip DVD's, although in the end we were charged the same once I brought it up with Rip's people.

Hmm - now "currently unavailable" at amazon.co.uk...

Gubes - let us know if you hear anything back from Drapers?

Oh yes, I heard from them the same day. Amazon won't have the book for another month or two but they can charge what they like so if you don't mind waiting then you will probably get it cheaper through them.

Laree Draper kindly offered to let me back out of my order but I decided not to as I felt weird taking advantage of their generosity and anyway I don't mind the money going straight to the source, as it were. Amazon gets enough of my cash already!

So looking forward to the book arriving soon!

Anyone bought the 3 dvd set? It looks good value.
Just started reading 'From the Ground Up' last night. This together with Rip's Starting Strength have really opened my eyes. I am even doing a staff training workshop at Total Fitness on basic barbell training as these books have made me see so much more errors not just by members but in the teaching by instructors. Easier to give someone 3 x 10 on leg press that spend an hour teaching them to squat. (it reminds me of starting looking in peoples shopping baskets after I did my Sports Nutrition Dip)

Really enjoyed this book. It's up there with Rip's "Strong Enough?" as an insightful journey through strength training and life in general. There are a load of things DJ says that make so much sense and you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself (or as Dan says - you knew once but were convinced otherwise).

Highly recommended read.

About half way through it now - getting through a few chapters every day on the train

So far, very good.

In fact, I'm looking to buy a copy for a friend...but Amazon is out.

Gubes, how much did yours come to in the end from the Drapers?

Aye, saw that - was just looking to clarify - wasn't sure if you meant that the $12 was the 'cost' price you are referring to

So $24.95 + £12 then I assume? Do you remember how long it took?

I know this not may be the most popular option but Amazon have just advertised some copies of Never Let Go. Various prices but all less than the $55 from the states.
