Book on Ramjets by GW Johnson

This post is for folks who visit NewMars.com/forums, as well as for members...

Our member, GW Johnson, has written a book about ramjets that is currently available in the form of a set of pdf files...

The ramjet book currently exists as a pdf file for each of the 22 chapters,  and each of the 4 appendices,  plus a file for all the up-front stuff (foreword,  table of contents,  etc).  That's a total of 27 separate pdf files that I email to customers 3 files at a time,  in some 9 emails,  to stay within just about "everybody's" email attachment limits.  I counted the pages:  561 of them.  It's a big book!  It still does not yet exist as one single file that could be downloaded.  My son was looking into creating a site where electronic purchase could be automated,  and the entire book downloaded as one single file.  That has not yet happened.

Currently,  I accept paper checks sent in the mail,  or cash sent by Western Union,  which multiple overseas customers have used.  Once paid,  I send the files by email,  3 files to an email,  for some 9 emails.  Base price is $100,  plus $6.25 Texas sales tax,  for an invoice total of $106.25.  Western Union users will need my full name and address as shown on my driver's license (given below).  I will need the tracking number Western Union gives them,  to retrieve the cash.  They won't need my phone numbers or email,  but I included those below anyway,  for convenience.

Re: Book on Ramjets by GW Johnson

Here is an official explanation of the way to order a copy of the PDF version of the Ramjet book:

GW does not yet have a site that automates payment and download of the ramjet book as a single
item. Watch for when that situation changes.

The base price for the 561-page book is $100 US, plus $6.25 rural Texas sales tax, for an invoice
total of $106.25 US.

Currently, he accepts payments in the form of mailed checks or Western Union money transfers.
Overseas customers in particular like to use Western Union, and don’t seem to even use paper
checks at all anymore.

Once paid, GW then manually sends the book as multiple pdf files sent in multiple emails, at 3
files to the email to stay well within the various email system attachment size limitations. There are
27 such files, sent in a series of 9 emails: 22 files at 1 chapter per file, plus 4 files at 1 appendix per
file, plus 1 file for the “up-front” stuff (foreword, table of contents, etc).

If you choose to use Western Union, you will need GW’s full name and address as it appears on his
driver’s license ID. That is given just below. He will need the tracking number Western Union gives
you, in order to retrieve the money.
