I just got mine in the mail today. I ordered it yesterday with free two day shipping and it said it would come on the 18th.

If only more places can ship that fast.

As someone who collaborates and occasionally ghostwrites books -- the difference most of us draw is whether our names are included on the books -- I can tell you that most sports autobiographies/fitness books/business motivational tomes are produced by professional writers whose job it is to draw the material out of the expert/celebrity/prominent person and write the book quickly and effectively.

Macca, like most successful people, does not have the time to write a book himself. Fortunately there are enough of us out there who can do the heavy lifting quickly and effectively. In that sense, it's no different than home improvement projects. There are many things I know I could do, but it would take me three times as long and the work would not be as good as that done by a professional contractor. Better to focus on one's core competency.

The problems come when the subject either does not give the writer enough time/information, resulting in a flimsy book, or fails to review the drafts. That's how you end up with someone like Charles Barkley or David Wells, who claimed they were misquoted in their own books. They weren't. It's just they didn't bother to review the drafts of the books and say, "You know, what I said was a little harsh. Let's change that."

Is his ghostwriter something like this?

He's a ghost, and he writes to us.

Bought! Wonder if i'm the first in NZ :)


Update - 94% of people who viewed this page bought this book, that's awesome! Wonder if Macca see's the click through / referal sites and realises Slowtwitch <3's him.

Purchased Kindle edition.

Does purchasing the Kindle edition effect the regular book rankings?

Bought mine using my wife's Nook Color last night from B&N and it put it in 'Preorder' status with availability of May 23rd. I ordered the 'enhanced' version with the videos, though. Don't know if that matters.

Nope.

We should have thought about combining shipping between a few of us, all paying $13 shipping is not the smartest. Oh Well :)

It's on audible now. Now do I interrupt the final 20-something hours of Atlas Shrugged to listen to Macca? Hmmm.....
