The 99.9% Aviation Bookstore
You've landed at the right place for aviation related books!

| The 99.9% Aviation Bookstore, the new book store at Marv Kaye's 99.9% Lancair website, is now online, operating in association with: As a longtime pilot, and an aircraft homebuilder with a reputation for independence, I've chosen to link with Amazon.com because I believe it enjoys a well-earned reputation for honesty and good service that I can both vouch for as a customer and support as an associate. Amazon.com is one of the fastest growing enterprises in cyberspace, has recently gone public with a very successful initial public stock offering, and has had many favorable reviews from sources such as the Wall Street Journal. You frequently see their advertising on national television and I am proud to have been selected by them to represent the sales of aviation related books at wonderful discount prices. Under the terms of my agreement with Amazon.com, I will objectively review selected books about aviation, dispensing both praise and criticism as I see fit. Hotlinks from each review will go directly to Amazon.com for handling. Most hardcover books are sold at a 10 to 30 percent discount from the publisher's price, and all are sold with the Amazon.com money-back guarantee. Payment may be handled by credit card (click here for details about online shopping security) or by telephone. Books are all shipped Priority Mail. Now why would you come to my web site to buy aviation-related books? Even at these steep discounts, you can still go direct to the Amazon.com web site and buy them. Well, to be very frank, there are 3 reasons: 1) You will get the same prices here as you will get by going direct to Amazon.com. (You'll notice that there are no prices on this site... all pricing is handled by Amazon.com and when you link to any title you will be offered the current and best price available according to the Amazon.com database.) In fact, since this site is a part of the Amazon.com Associates program, when you select a book from this website, you will automatically be linked to the Amazon.com site for ordering, billing , and shipping. What I provide here is a tightly targeted set of reading lists which have been selected from the Amazon.com catalogue and conveniently organized into their appropriate categories. (The mission here is to become the one-stop shop for aviation related titles, and as such I'll endeavor to expand the listings as necessary and as time allows.) Much of the poking around for the right title has already been performed and titles are arranged in an easy-to-find format, all accessible through the stack index. 2) Many of the books included in the various stacks have already been read by myself or recommended by other aviation-minded enthusiasts and will be reviewed to help with your purchase decisions. And even if I may not have read a particular title myself, by following the links from each title back to Amazon.com it is possible to access unbiased and objective reviews by other Amazon.com customers. 3) ... and finally, by buying at the same discount prices through this site that Amazon.com
offers, you will be helping to support the maintenance cost of running this site. I am
trying to pack as much value as I can into this site, and not charge any kind of
membership fees. But I could use a bit of help ...and Amazon.com has offered to send me back
small commissions on any books purchased through The 99.9% Aviation Bookstore. This way you still get the books you want at substantial discounts, I receive a little support for the site, and Amazon.com does what it does best, that's take care of all the details... this way everyone wins! If you have any suggestions for titles you'd like to see included here that I've somehow managed to overlook, please drop me an email with your recommendations and I'll get them added to the stacks as soon as possible. Thanks so much for your support and please come back soon to shop for your next aviation related book. (When browsing the titles, a click on any book link will whisk you off to Amazon.com... to return to the Bookstore page you clicked from simply hit the "Back" arrow on your browser or, with Netscape, use a right click over the Amazon.com frame and select "Back" from the pop-up menu.) |
