Not sure where to put this, but...
Has anyone read, or have a copy, of Fundartmentals? It was a paperback book published in '95, and Ive heard its up there with George's book in the pantheon of great darts tomes... however its out of print and selling used for about $100 at the lowest - a bit out of my budget for a book.

seem to get people asking for it now and then but it is very rare and hard to find a copy, would like a copy too, they should re-print it

Yeah, its out of print and Ive seen a few inquiries on forums and the internet, but because the supply is so small, the asking price is astronomical. A reprint would probably sell well too.

Horizon Darts, in Kansas City, does indeed have at least one copy of Fundartmentals in stock, and as you can see, it arrived today for the low low price of $14 and change USD, including shipping.
Anyone interested in getting a copy, this is WAY cheaper than what I'd seen the book selling for USED through other retailers. And this copy is brand new, in perfect condition.

Thats great! I have tried ordering it too, the shipping was not calculated so I am waiting to see if they email me with a final total, knowing my luck they will charge some crazy price and I will have to cancel.

I got a reply earlier from Melody at Horizon darts and the shipping was reasonable at $13.41 so I went ahead with the order. I asked about the book and whether it was a re-run and got this reply:
Yes, before Frank passed away, he gave us rights to publish the book. WE had several people requesting it so he agreed to let us run with it again. He passed away about 2 months later.
It's about the best book out there. We have loads of them in stock.
We will get that out to you today. I will have them email you a tracking number once they have that.
Thank You,
Melody
I know the author died not so long ago but its good that he has been able to have a legacy as it were in the book and hopefully it can help in the way that George does with Flight School Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Thats great info, Melody is great, she turned around my order really quickly and got me a tracking number when i requested it. I'm glad to see they got the rights to it. I had league last night so havent gotten to really start reading it, but I skimmed it and its chock full of tips and stuff, should be useful.
