[Hunter]

Good morning! I would very much like to read this book & join the discussion. I agree to the T & C's. Is there still a space left? If yes, please add me. Unfortunately, I cannot message Bentley, as requested. Thank you very much for your consideration!

[Kiera]

I thought I posted that on the intro thread! Whoops! :)

[Lewis]

If there are still openings, I am interested in this book and agree to the T's and C's. Thank you. Lewis C.

[Mark]

I am interested and agree to the terms and conditions

[Hunter]

Hi Bentley, I can't message you because GR says your profile is set to private. I am very interested in reading this book. I agree to all the T&Cs. Many thanks.

[Bryan]

Thanks everyone, Bentley is traveling, etc. but he will back to follow up on the status of this book.

[Ann D]

Hi, Bentley. I sent you a PM about my interest in getting a free copy of the book if any are still available. I agree to all the requirements.

I understand you have been traveling, but when you have time to visit this site again let me know if you did not get my PM. I had some trouble with my email address on Good Reads. It has now been corrected.

Hi

You can send a personal message as a member of the HBC rather than directly - go to member of HBC and then find Bentley and it should be possible.

[Holly]

I agree to the terms and conditions of your offer. I hope it's not too late, I am very interested in reading, reviewing and discussing your book: Landslide. Thank you~

[Ann D]

I will abide by the terms and conditions for the discussion and really look forward to participating. I lived through this period, but did not pay close attention. I know I will learn a lot.

[Valerie]

I will follow the terms and conditions, would love to participate.

Valerie

[Rebecca]

I would like to participate and I agree to the terms and conditions.

[Bryan]

Thanks everyone. Bentley will get to this when he returns.

[cheryl]

I am interested in reading Landslide: Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and the Dawn of a New America by Jonathan Darman, and I am looking forward to participating n the group discussions.

[Peter]

I would like to participate. I will send Bentley a PM.

[Helga]

Hi Bentley, if this is still open, I am interested in joining and will abide by the t's and c's. I will PM Bemtley.

[Jim]

I am interested in this offer and will follow all rules.

[Sherry]

Bentley, I am also interested and will abide by the terms and conditions. Thanks

[G]

According to Amazon, this book will be released on September 23, so can I assume we won't start the discussion until it is readily available to purchase?

[Justin]

Bentley, I too am very interested in this book and will gladly participate in the discussions. PM sent.

I too checked Amazon and see it's not released until Set 23. I would hate to miss out on reading with the group if we start the 8th.

[Bryan]

We will check with Bentley on this, but I'm pretty sure that we will not start the reading on the 8th due to the delay in its release.

[John]

Thanks Bryan, that's what I was thinking when the notification went out that we were starting- I thought the release date was delayed.
I haven't heard about the books either, so hoping to hear soon.

[Bryan]

No worries, Bentley will be back around to get us all up to date and books sent.

He has some family events and overseas work, but rest assured, he will return. Thanks for everyone's patience.

I'm looking forward to reading it with all of you. I probably will be comparing it a little to Rick Perlstein's works:

by Rick Perlstein

[Hunter]

I really want to read this book in order to see how the author's story compares to my grandfather's stories of that era in politics. Should prove interesting, to say the least.

[Michael]

U.S. only? Looks like I am still waiting for the book release. Oh well. There is lots on the stack to read. I will likely still follow the discussions. Signed: US guy working/living in Canada ;-)

[Bryan]

I think so, Michael, the publishers have restrictions, but Bentley will confirm this.

Would you consider buying it or getting from the library?

[John]

Hope Bentley and his family are doing well...

[Wilk]

Bentley, I am very interested in a free copy of the book to review.

[Wilk]

And I will abide by the terms set out by you, the author, and publisher.

[Matt]

I would also like to participate. Any new information about a new release date? I see on amazon its not being released until 23 September. I also agree with the t's and c's. Who do I email with my mailing adress or is it a kindle version?

Hi Bryan, I would prefer the library at this point all our libraries in Alberta are connected so we can search province wide. However, with a new release like this I may end up just purchasing it. Probably for my kindle to save delivery time.

[Bryan]

Great, Michael. Thanks Wilk and Matt. We hope to get an assessment from Bentley on where we are in the process.

Again, thank you for your patience :-)

[Gary]

This is my first time responding to one of these discussions. I have been collecting books on the presidents for quite a few years now. I have almost every book that has been written by a president...and quite a few written about the presidents.

That being said, Lyndon Johnson is definitely one of my favorite presidents because he was one of the last of the presidents who hailed from a time when you actually had to campaign door-to-door.

[Bryan]

Great to meet fellow presidential history buffs, Gary. LBJ had some interesting traits and has a presidency of historic success and large failures.

[Justin]

Any update on the book giveaway and the start date of the reading??

[Mark]

Any update? I initially expressed interest, but the delay is going to make this more difficult for me. Hard to plan to participate on a moving deadline.

[Bryan]

Hi Mark. Bentley's father is ill, and unfortunately, he is the only person who is in direct contact with the publisher about the giveaway.

I believe we will have to postpone this book for a little while. I would understand if you want to remove yourself from the list.

If you are interested in Ike, we are talking about doing Jean Smith's one-volume book next month.

by Jean Edward Smith

So sorry for all of this, but we ran into a difficult circumstance.

Nothing is more important than family. I wish the best for Bentley and his family.

[Mark]

Hope everything goes well for Bentley and his family.

At this point I would prefer to be removed from the list if possible. If not I will work it out and participate to the extent I can.

Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

[Bryan]

Sure thing, Mark, we will do that for you.
