Pagoda World Book Valume 1 orderd by e-mail posted as requested in the original post.

Thank you

Dieter

PS. I noted some confusion by some members above.

1) you order order the book by opening the attachement (PDF file) in the original post then click on the e-mail link and order your book. A invoice will then be posted to you.

2) it is US Dollars not Euros.

The good news is that MOST people know how to follow instructions. My phone which beeps with each email coming in, and with each PayPal transaction, is non stop action today. Nearly 200 orders have come in and I'm chugging my way through these now. 50 invoices have gone out. It's a process--

The bad news is some people don't know how to open an attachment here (click on it?) nor follow directions. I've received a number of inquiries with no address. A number of "familiar" names have moved and thus the address that does, on rare occasion, pop up, is old or wrong. Also we have multiple email addresses for many people...hence the simple instructions.

Thank you for producing this useful book. It should provide plenty of good information for us (and our mechanic :D).

Let us have a closer look at the Pagoda Book Vol 1

This post is primarily for the Associate Member of this site one that is planning to purchase the Pagoda Book Volume 1 for the 90.00 US funds.

Source ——> https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=32995.0
(once the above link opens, click on the attachments for full details of the book purchase)

Michael mentioned and I quote:-

“Yes, the incentive is to encourage associate members to join as full members”

And what a great incentive this really is for our Associate Members. What does this
really mean? Well let me point out the facts, if they are not clear already.

If an Associate Member only orders the Book all he fill receive is the Book, that’s it!

on the other hand, if he/she adds $5.00 US he/she gets for the $95.00 US all this;-

- for $30.00 US he/she can become a Full Member.
- for $65.00 US he/she gets the Book, shipping included.
- he/she will get a welcoming package that includes another Pagoda World issue.
- he/she will receive two (2) more Pagoda World issues Fall 2021 & Spring 2022.
- two (2) Pagoda SL Group Windshield stickers.
- he/she will have access to the entire site of Pagoda SL Group and all the Benefits
   
as listed here ——> https://www.sl113.org/wiki/About/Membership

What a bargain what an incentive to the best International Pagoda site!

Think about it for a minute or two. Forgive me for pointing this out, however, I do like to play with numbers, it’s in my DNA ~grin~ Or might it be that the local governement of Ontario Canada once again orderd us to stay home for a nother total 4 week Lockdown.

Listen carefully everyone...

If you cannot simply “click on” and thus download a PDF from the attachment at the bottom of the first post— you have a problem on your phone, tablet, or computer. Seriously.

PDF is a universal file format. The inability to open one severely limits you in ways that go far beyond this club.

Seek some computer assistance and get it sorted out.

Michael,

I somehow managed to find, open and navigate the .pdf file, but for some reason the mailing address on my invoice is incorrect. How do I correct the mailing address?  Only the town is wrong; all the other information, including zip code, is correct.

For those people requesting a preview of the book, it is an attachment in this post. Scroll to the bottom, Click on the attachment and enjoy.

For those who have set their own address incorrectly in PayPal... that is why Michael Salemi is instructing you to mail him your mailing address. If you've set your PayPal account incorrectly, your invoice will show an incorrect delivery address.

I fear the benefits of full membership, such as the linkage tour, are perhaps not as valuable as we think they are.
And I speak as someone who can dare not touch his engine for fear of stuffing it up, but did manage to order a book, and get a confirmation...;)

As of 15:19 on 9-April, I've sent out 124 invoices.

I still have well over 100 emails to "process" into invoices.

About five have been bounced back to the sender because they neglected to give me an address. They have to resend properly and go to the back of the line. The emails that are not correct or missing information are deleted--but not without a short note to the sender before I return to the others.

For one reason or another a couple are requiring some special attention, but they'll have to wait until I'm done with the backlog.

If PayPal shows the email but with a different address than what comes in on the order, the PayPal information is updated as I enter it.
