Camaro5 Fest II Book - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

johndawg · 03-17-2011, 08:40 PM

My fellow Camaro5 brethern...

The book is done.

I have put so much time and effort into this one. It took a little longer than I thought it would, but it's always better to try to make it 'almost' perfect and not to rush it out with a lot of "what if's."

*********************************
I received an email from a friend of mine that blurb has a 20% discount code:
Try using: ADBLURB at checkout to get 20% off.
I'm not 100% that it will work, but I think it's worth a shot.
I've already ordered my books or I would try it.

*********************************

Preview the book!!!

There were some struggles and a lot of waiting, but we all came together and finally knocked it out! I am proud to present the new 2011 Camaro5 Fest II Book!

There are 5 choices this year!!!

The first 3 choices are a bit smaller book, but still an awesome sized book at 10"x8".

Click here to order the 10"x8":
http://www.blurb.com/books/2182089

Softcover US $65.00

Hardcover, Dust Jacket US $70.00

Hardcover, ImageWrap US $75.00

The Second two choices mimic the larger size that we all loved so much last year at 13"x11"!

http://www.blurb.com/books/2182204

Hardcover, Dust Jacket US $125.00

Hardcover, ImageWrap US $130.00

As you can see, the books are virtually the same except for some small things which were either added or changed because of image quality issues at a larger size print.

Regardless, both sizes are awesome and there are darn near 200 pages of Camaros for you to lust over... or maybe just share with friends

Anways.... I'm so glad to be handing this over to you, the forum members. I'm going to take a few weeks off before I shoot again. Feel free to contact me if you would like your car shot or if you have an event that you need covered. I'll see if I can come out of my self-imposed retirement to shoot one more kick-a$$ car show or event.

All the best John (johndawg)

OH HELL YEAH!!!

I was showing off my book from last year... They couldn't believe all the cars and people.

Great way to remember the event!!!

John can't wait to see what you guys do this year!

*Mindz* · 03-17-2011, 10:21 PM

I'm interested in obtaining a book this year as I missed out last year. You did very well in covering events and it'll be nice to have a momento of this years fest. =)

Buffnshine · 03-17-2011, 11:03 PM

Very cool

CruznSS · 03-17-2011, 11:15 PM

Suggestion for book - get pics of owners, camaro, & screen name. Could take pics of group members as they enter. Parade lap / photo op on road course. Pics at hotel & after party. Oh, get pics from groups driving to fest. Coming from all 4 corners of USA. Just some ideas to toss around for book.

I'll take one...

Okay, more than one...

*SSE 4 2SS* · 03-18-2011, 03:18 AM

Sign me up for at least one...

Char1ieone · 03-18-2011, 11:49 AM

I am totally up for one! I never was able to get a glance at last years I was not able to partake in it so I am sorry im asking for things that were done last year but here we go. I would like to be able to see caravan photos to Phoenix, group shots of owners and their cars like a group shot of the Transformers editions in one shot for example, people working/installing parts on their cars, owner shot with their car, member forum names with shots. Sorry but like you said, its MY yearbook haha. Could you maybe put up some screenshots of what was on the book last year too?

JoeP@TeamBeckyD · 03-18-2011, 11:58 AM

I'm proud to be a sponsor for the book!

Last years was GREAT....

I just looked at it again last weekend.
I'm getting fired up for C5FestII..
