I published the book. It went "public" on Lulu.com's site on February 8.
EDIT: the ISBN is now 978-0-557-31023-4, from publisher Lulu.com, so any bookstore should be able to order one.

EDIT: Here's the SOHC4.net link:

Hardback versions are also coming: they tell me it will be nearer the end of February because they take longer to print and bind. And, they cost more: PM me if you want a signed hard copy instead, or order from Lulu.com for a "virgin" copy.

The "shop edition" in looseleaf, for 3-ring (or Euro 4-ring) binders is still out for quote.

Cant wait to read it over once or eight times!

Who is the publisher? How much is their "online price"? So many questions, rather few answers... Way mucho congrats on finishing though. I'm totally jealous.

Congratulations are well deserved Mark. I certainly hope your love for our bikes pays off for you in more ways than one. It certainly will for us.

I published the book on Monday, pending the final review of the first printed copies that they shipped out [to me] today. If the proof copies came out OK, I can make it "public" by about February 15th, they tell me...the ISBN number hasn't been assigned, yet: when it is, any bookstore can order one.

My hard earned pennies are itching to be traded for your hard work HondaMan. Looking forward to it!

Excellent Mark and you can count me in. Do the board members get an "autographed" copy???

You can count on Kit and I buying a copy too! Congrats!

I can't wait to see the finished product. How long did you work on compiling and finalizing it?
