Congratulations.  As an author of a book on Wm. Flynn awaiting publication, I thank you for the time and effort required for such a project.  I am sure it was a labor of love for you more than anything else.  I look forward to receiving my copy.
Best regards,
Wayne

I meant to post on this awhile ago, and it got by me.

Stuart Bendelow gave a terrific talk at Olympia Fields to the Heritage Committee, a group of club historians in the midwest (I believe that they are seeking to expand across the country).  Anyways, Stuart had fascinating insights into his grandfather, and his book is very well done.

I have had my copy a few months now and have read it and lent it to Lou Duran for reading (Sorry, Stuart, I know you would have wanted to sell him a copy....) and think it should be in the collection of anyone interested enough to participate here.

There is some new information there to flesh out TB as something other than a basic architect.  I got my copy right after getting the Medinah club history which wondered if Bendelow knew of the plans to put real estate in the middle of No. 3.  Stuarts book has a copy of the routing and housing with Toms name on it, answering that question!

Stuart,

Congratulations on completing the book, an onerous but rewarding task I can only assume. How much extra will I need to spend to have the book mailed to Canada?

I guess I missed the fact that the book was out.  But, I shall send the check today.  Or, before I send it, is there a paypal set up?

Congrats Stuart.  Tom Bendelow must have been a fascinating man.  Just to think of how prolific he was across a wide section of the country, before travel easy.

List on the book is $24.95.
A limited number are available to GCA and GCS members for $20.00 + S&H - prepaid - from me.

Postage makes a difference:
one book = $5.00  Priority mail
two to six books = $10.00   Priority mail

Postage to Canada is $8.00 for one book

Sorry, I have not had a chance to install a PayPal account yet.

Please email me with any questions.

Once in a while, a spot of unashamed product 'plugging' should be welcomed on this Site. IMHO, this is one of those occasions.

Stuart, I am delighted to see the completion of the work. Would you please, please set up a Paypal account so us UK folks can buy easily!!!
