A book that I have been working for quite a few months, if not nearly two years just to hunt the materials and to add to the pain, such materials are almost impossible to find!

Yet I believe I have managed, actually still currently writing out this book, that should exceed most materials that exist in the current market. I don't have any examples from the book yet but I can assure you, some designs are shok.gif . Perhaps that would be very exciting to know what coudl be in it yes.gif

I am kinda expecting to finish it on the Feburary 28 / March 1, but it looks like I might need a bit more time to check over my work.

All you need to do is to guess the date and time in my time of when I am going to finish writing this book. The lucky person with the nearest guess will win it. smile.gif I should have copies of this book as soon as I am done editing and will put up examples from the book, which will be in sell section.

Stay tuned and good luck to everyone! smile.gif

Thank you very much for the expectation hi.gif

While I have seriously considered and actually have looked into e-book format specification, there are too many ways of how I can crack into an e-book in pdf format, and current standards are not up to my likings yet unless there is something I did not look into yet.

P.S. I will post a preview up tomorrow, and for those that haven't put your guess, now is the best chance that you should before it's too late. smile.gif

I will end this giveaway when I formally finish editing this book, although I have no idea when I will finish. Afterall, it's some 50+ pages sad.gif

I was originally gonna guess sometime in mid July, but figured that wouldn't quite help my odds of winning another book of yours. How about March 13, about 9 pm local time.
SugarCheryl
Hmmmmmmmm I will say Monday March 13th 11:32 pm

I will not comment on the status of the book right now, except to say that this is going to be edited throughly and will annouce a winner as soon as I am done.

Good luck to everyone! smile.gif

I finally have finalized the crazy draft of it - the total has hit 100 pages, so it was a pain - all I need is a final check and a cover page and off it goes. :yawn:

The time I have finished it is on the March 19, 6:22am, which exceeds everyone's guess. Yes, the real problem is that I did mention that I would have it done around the March 1, which was a total lie on my part as I only managed it a rough frame draft on the Monday, 6th as I had a whole day off. Assuming that if I added extra 5 days to everyone final to compensate my error, which puts everyone's to the following:

jlueke - March 04 0953 -> March 09
ccg - March 05 1900 -> March 10
bill - March 03 1635 -> March 08
bobby - March 02 1234 -> March 07
akdrv - March 10 1400 -> March 15
Art - March 04 0845 -> March 09
TKD - March 02 1815 -> March 07
Sisu - March 13 1200 -> March 18
Dock - March 03 1533 -> March 08
ikaros - March 06 1100 -> March 11
Kat - March 09 0309 -> March 14
kuhli - March 13 2100 -> March 19
Cheryl - March 13 2332 -> March 19
Trantor - March 9 1527 -> March 14
mitch91 - March 16 0800 -> March 16

Finished time, March 19, 0622,

Closest:
Sisu: March 18 1200 -> off by 18hrs 22
kuhli: March 19 2100 -> off by 14hrs 38
Cheryl: March 19 2332 -> off by 17hrs 10

Ironically, kuhli, you win!!! laugh.gif
bobbycoin
Im confused..

...
Kat - March 09 0309 -> March 14 (14-9=5... +5 days)
kuhli - March 13 2100 -> March 19 (19-13=6... +6 days)
Cheryl - March 13 2332 -> March 19 (19-13=6... +6 days)
Trantor - March 9 1527 -> March 14 (14-9=5.. +5 days)

If they were all 5 days...

...
Kat - March 09 0309 -> March 14
kuhli - March 13 2100 -> March 18
Cheryl - March 13 2332 -> March 18
Trantor - March 9 1527 -> March 14

Then Closest:
Sisu: March 18 1200 -> off by 18hrs 22
kuhli: March 18 2100 -> off by 9hrs 22
Cheryl: March 18 2332 -> off by 6hrs 50

Cheryl Wins?

Or if you add 6 days to all...

Closest:
Sisu: March 19 1200 -> off by 3hrs 38
kuhli: March 19 2100 -> off by 14hrs 38
Cheryl: March 19 2332 -> off by 17hrs 10

Sisu wins?

I knew I shouldn't be up 6 in the morning doing the book and maths at the same time.

Perhaps to be fair, I will announce all three as a winner. laugh.gif

Thanks for spotting my awful mistake there Bobby.
