tombuch 0 #1 April 17, 2003 I just received the latest issue of Skydiving Magazine (April 2003) and found a great review of my new book, JUMP! Skydiving Made Fun and Easy. It's pretty cool to see the book reviewed in one of our leading industry publications. Dan Poynter even added his own reader review to the listing at Amazon.com. I'm interested in what other readers think of JUMP! It was originally profiled on this site in February, is listed in the equipment area of dropzone.com at http://www.dropzone.com/gear/Detailed/417.html, and has been selling well. If you have read JUMP! Skydiving Made Fun and Easy, please drop me a line with your comments, or better yet, add a review to the listing at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0071410686/qid=1044061742/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-7704188-3024024?v=glance&s=books&n=507846, or in the equipment/books area here on Dropzone.com. JUMP! may be heading for a second printing at the end of summer, and if that happens there will be a chance to make a few quick changes. If you see any technical issues that need clarification or correction, please let me know so I can get them included in the update package.Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!

The first reviews are on the Amazon site, below the product listing. There is also a new review in the April Skydiving Magazine. JUMP! Skydiving Made Fun and Easy is targeted at people who have not yet made a skydive. It helps them understand what the sport is about, how dangerous (or safe) it is, how to find a drop zone, how skydivers are licensed, how to evaluate a drop zone, and how to relax in freefall. It has a solid index and quick access FAQ of questions. JUMP! is NOT a book for experienced skydivers, although it IS a good book to give your whuffo friends.Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!
