Jerry Beranek's Fundamentals

[MasterBlaster]

Cool. No Yakuza was needed!

 

[woodworkingboy]

They'd take half the pages!

 

[Burnham]

Seems even more worthwhile to get another print run together, Jerry. If you could use some financial backing, I'm willing to visit about that.

A revision is WAY more work, for sure...but might be even more of a good seller.

Either way, if I can help at all, holler.

When I get rid of my book one day. I will give it to someone. Fundamentals has given me so much it would feel wrong to do otherwise.

Same here squish.

Me too Jer! Count me in. There is not a better book, or a nicer person that I would want to donate funds too.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Jerry, just curious, how many copies currently in print?

 

[SeanKroll]

I'll proof read

 

[gf beranek]

If I run for POTUS I'd hire you all to run the campaign. Thanks for all the support!!

Jay, a little better than 20,000 in 20 years.

Sean, thank you, but Terri would be slighted if she couldn't do it.

Burnam, thanks for the consideration, but money isn't the issue here. I chose not to do a reprint for the reasons I cited before. Another, if I failed to mention before, is storage. I'm plugged up.

I'm going to be 80 years old in twelve more years, time flies, and between now and then I want to simplify my life by selling my stock, not investing in anymore. The sooner the better actually.

I hope you all understand, as the High Climbers and Timber Fallers is on the chopping block, too. Stock on hand with that title is about 2000. After that no more.

I did mention before that anyone can take on what I don't feel like doing anymore.

It's just getting to be too much time and trouble for this ol' Boy.

But I still like creating them. Lord, help me!

Thank you, all.

Gerry I need to order the Hc and tf before its to late. How do I order? Forgive my fancy computation machine abilities. I'm but a meager treeman.

 

[Grendel]

I'd buy a case of Fundamentals if such a thing existed. That resource needs to be available to future generations.

 

[gf beranek]

There's still plenty of time, Rich. All I need is your shipping address, and I'll include an invoice.

Thank you.

Jerry is so cool. friggin' A.

Deva,that's surely worthy of an "Atta Boy"! Thanks, my man!!

 

[Buddy]

Gerry, how much is High Climbers and Timber Fallers? I clicked on "A Tree Story" in your sig line but I can't get past your home page, it says, "site under construction".

 

[treebilly]

Priceless! Maybe I shouldn't say that till after I receive the invoice. Be easy on me sir

 

[cory]

High Climbers is basically tree work porn!!!!

 

[gf beranek]

Pay no mind. The Web site is totally out of order. All due to me.

The price for the book is, as it always has been, $50 bug plus shipping.

Thanks, Jerry B

Funny Cory

Thanks Gerry, I will have to get it one of these days.

Where is the emoji for quizical head scratch and chin whisker rub?

Is the "fundamentals" book still in print? Cant seem to find it anywhere.

Seems like there would be enough demand for another printing. Prices are crazy. My neighbor knows about self-publishing. Wonder if it is in the plans.

I'd buy one, but not for 10 grand

Some of us have been trying to talk Jerry into doing a revision for more than a few years now. I still think he'd produce a book that would in the very least match the sales of the first.

I wish he'd reconsider.

With the prices commanded on the used book it would certainly seem a reprinting would be in order. A revision would be great.

Prod, prod.

A revision would certainly sell better than my redwood books. Of which I give far more away than sell.

And thank you, sir!

Just making them, all the hiking, the picture taking, the research, and then putting it all together is such a gas for me. 10-12 hour days no problem. Enjoy every minute.

Scalping. He bought'em fair and square: the first printing in 1996. Heck, I didn't even know he had any left. Then he called and asked what he should do. I told him, "Do what everybody else is doing with them, you fool. They're yours".

Terri said she seen one going on the net for $3000 bugs. Can you believe it? It's a Picasso!

How Many Copies would it take to make it possible?

I personally believe there is enough interest.

Put me down for a Copy if that ever comes to Fruition.

Hey Gerry, I am looking to buy working climber series 2&3 and high climbers. Would it be better for you if I buy directly from you or buy from wesspur?

 

[gf beranek]

Buy them from the retailer's. Oh, it's better for me to sell direct, but bad business to undersell the retailers.

However, if you buy Series 2 and 3 (part 1) from Wes Spur I'll throw in Series 3 (part 2) Limbing and Bucking the tree as a gift.

PM me your address.

 

[Altissimus]

Nice

 

[Buddy]

That's a very generous gift Gerry, thank you very much.

PM inbound

I ordered your high climbers book as well.
