Happy to take a look and provide feedback - I'm no expert but I am on my 10th E89 so I do have some knowledge of the model

Obviously this Forum is a particular niche and not the primary target market

Out of interest, so who is?

 

[matsmith749]

1000+ pages?

Feedback without even looking - that feels like a comprehensive reference level detail.

Who is your audience exactly?

 

[James35i]

Is the 1000+ pages post editing?

The Three-Volume Structure​

Volume	Title	Primary Reader	When They Use It
Vol 1	History, Buying, Owning, Enjoying	Prospective buyer, new owner, enthusiast	Pre-purchase, first year, touring
Vol 2	Maintaining & Upgrading	Hands-on owner, modifier	Service time, build planning
Vol 3	Troubleshooting & Repairing	Problem-solver, workshop user	Something is wrong, deep repair needed

Sounds like every one who visits this forum falls into at least one of those categories (except me!).

 

[Pondy]

RSVP with expressions of interest and/or comment

I would offer but a) I struggle with reading (UK education) and b) I have a very short attention span.

The statistics are more humbling...there are probably less than 250 active e89 members here..there are still over 100k E89s out there...obviously hundreds if not thousand of e89 owners have come and gone from here...

Ah but there are still hundreds who 'pop in' infrequently for all sorts of reasons.

Then you have the FB pages, where many 'pop in' just for an argument.

Count me in as a reviewer (given I have had a car book published). Not sure how easy I can look through 1000 pages of pdf though

 

[CliveN]

I am interested in a paper copy please when you get there

Come now, Mr Haynes, you are being very modest.

 

[Chanceschmerr]

As a new E89 owner with....5 days experience owning a Z4 - count me interested in the finished book, but not worthy for reviewing at this time.

 

[CliveN]

I am in Spain at the moment so only have an iPhone. What’s the timeline for critique etc. positive feedback obvs.

 

[CliveN]

Pondy I am no mr Haynes. But perhaps that’s okay as I have some manuals for early 80s cars and they are of the “take off panel “ type without actually telling you how to do it. But if it was an ask about my book. If you look up “clive neville rocket” I should turn up on Google.

Fewer!

Out of interest, are the pictures photographs that you’ve taken, or line drawings?

 

[CliveN]

Will do a pm
