Pardon my ignorance/suspicion, but whose "official" guidebook? Even at a great price (i.e., free), what's in it that has such value? I'm interested if you can give me a sample of the wisdom within.

Catman has always said he was writing a book.
Maybe this is it. Probably not, though, as the OL' Tom would have surely had autographed copies for us.

Is the edition being offered in the Delta newsletter the 5th or 6th edition? No use paying even $4.95 for out of date information if they are offering the 5th edition.

Just ordered my copy. Credit card won't be billed until it ships in late October. Grand total including shipping is $4.95. It is the 6th edition.

I have the 4th edition of this book and have worn it out. This is a great publication even at full price but a fantastic deal at with the $10+ discount.

WebFlyer web price is $14.99, plus shipping.
How does one get the 4.95 price from Delta?

baobab:

apparently being a delta ff member is not a requirement to order. i just ordered the book via telephone, and all she asked for was name, address, and credit card info. my delta ff number was never brought up. as long as delta doesn't compare ff member lists with the guidebook order list, you should be ok (of course if they get 10 million requests for the book when there's only, say, 8 million ff members, they may think somebody's been releasing insider secrets somewhere, but we know better, don't we?).

Hey, I don't belong to the Delta FF program either. The question never came up when I placed my order.
