NovaTTT 1 #5 July 31, 2011 Well, I already purchased the book but I'm not going to complain . . . it's priced under $10 and that's pretty good! I'll certainly "friend" you and hopefully stir up some further interest. Good luck!"Even in a world where perfection is unattainable, there's still a difference between excellence and mediocrity."

rainman 0 #6 August 4, 2011 Looks like a book I'd love to read! Any chance of a digital version so that I can read it on my Kindle (epub, mobi, pretty much anything except pdf)?Rainman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesPrine 0 #9 August 10, 2011 I received my copy of "Red Beans and Ripcords" today. I hurriedly ripped open the shipping package, left its shredded carcass on the floor, and pounced on the book like a certain ocelot... I LOVED IT! And, in the trite but true category, I literally couldn't put the book down, pee breaks and lunch be damned... I finished "Red Beans and Ripcords" at one sitting and fininished the book wanting more, which is the best way to end a book anyway. I can hardly wait for the next book to share more of Mike's aerial adventures. I heartily recommend "Red Beans and Ripcords" to anyone and everyone wanting a humorous, accurate depiction of what being a 'sport parachutist was like back in the 60's. Thanks Mike, for a terrific read and a smiling stroll down memory lane...James S. Prine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stopNgoBeau 0 #10 September 26, 2011 From Baton Rouge, LA, and read something somewhere about your book earlier this summer, before I knew I'd be jumping tandem for the first time and getting hooked on the sport. Definitely will pick up a copy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
