The countdown is over: Volume 3: #JoyOfMachine is on sale right now and available from the Speedhunters store.
Individually hand-numbered for that exclusive collector’s feel, there’s been a strictly limited print run of #JoyOfMachine: just 1,150 copies have rolled off the presses. Once this batch runs out that’s it, so you’ll need to act fast.
Oh, and it gets better. For a very limited time – and the maximum joy possible – there’s the chance to buy both the #JoyOfMachine and #MaximumAttack books together at a significant discount as part of a special bundle. Not only that, but if you opt for this deal we’ll throw in three – count ‘em, three – Speedhunters stickers a pack of the the brand new Speedhunters resin badges absolutely free. The bundle comes in at just $75/£52, saving well over 25 percent on the normal prices!
#MaximumAttack has been unavailable for some time, so this is a one-off opportunity to complete your collection: you’ll also be able to buy the book separately, whilst stocks last.
We’ve also been working hard on reducing shipping costs to North America as much as we can – that’s reflected in new delivery prices for both books. The Speedhunters store is the place to be right now – get there fast before the joy runs out.

Limited means limited, so why sell volume two again?
Well, at least my bookshelf can be complemented!

Jerome Anker These are from the original run of #MAXIMUMATTACK. They're not re-prints.
@ET64 Ah, we did make a limited run of volume one which is why there's none left!
I'd love to order one, but it Worldpay doesn't seem to accept my german credit card

Jerome Anker We printed more #MaximumAttack, many more than Volume one and JOM.
PaddyMcGrath I meant limited re-run of volume one. LoL Didn't know of the site when you guys released it.
@ET64 Damn, I wish. But I doubt the guys who have Volume one already would like that very much.
@Nightfall Same here worldpay is also blocked by my german credit card.
You need another method for payment
@Nightfall @BMueller have the same problem, that really sucks! -.-'
BMueller Easier said than done, since I don't have another credit card and the shop doesn't offer any additional payment methods. That's a real shame
BMueller Easier said than done, since I don't have another credit card and the shop doesn't offer any additional payment methods. That's a real shame
I'm one of those people and agree.
Larry Chen Agreed I want my book to remain limited especially since it is signed my almost all of the fd drivers, jarrod deanda and larry
@Nightfall BMueller I didn't mean you, I meant Speedhunters
And together banker I was able to order one and find the problem.
If you only make payment possible with some security standards WorldPay gets blocked because they have a system which only needs the credit card number and the expiration date.
The banker was shocked, that there was no other security and told me to better not order there again because it's completely unsafe.
So please Speedhunters change this, I know PayPal for example costs you money and uses bad exchange rates but at least it's safe.
HIngraham Larry Chen I own volume 1 and 2, just purchased 3. Re-run them all you want, it's a business you need to make money to run this site. Plus it spreads the love around. These aren't a pair of Jordans and I don't need to feel better then anyone for being able to afford 3 books at the time they became available for purchase. I doubt I'm going to sell mine in 10 yrs on ebay for $1000. As long as your splitting your costs for larger runs and saving money down the line then it doesn't matter to me as a consumer. Put a 2nd run stamp on them so the uptight owners of the originals can feel superior.

BMueller And how will it work to order now, any advice for us?
I don't mind if everything "Limited" was removed and replaced with "2nd print". I just want to fill the gap here, and I'm sure it'll generate more interest on your future volumes since people can get the collection. I can't even find the first volume on eBay. :/
WIll there be worldwide shipping? Can´t order one if this is not going to be sent to my place. I really want the bundle! : (
Any help?
@Eduardo Leiva There is worldwide shipping. Where are you based?
ChristianStengel BMueller Sorry for forgetting that part. Try different cards, friends, family, etc. When i tried to order one was rejected (while ordering the second book and this one) and two different cards worked. I don't know if it depends at which bank you are, or how your settings are. Sorry, I don't know more
*sigh* *opens wallet*
Thanks Paddy, it seems that the webpage didn't show every destination. I'm from Chile, Southamerica.
Cheers!

@Eduardo L You need to order from the EU store which ships worldwide - http://store.speedhunters.com/eu

Thanks man! I will try that.
Order placed, FINALLY GET TO SLEEP!
BMueller I ordered with a new credit card and was directed to my bank's security settings, once they were set it worked perfectly. I think it may depend on the security settings associated to your card.
Larry Chen Nope, considering I just paid an exorbitant amount to someone on eBay for a mint condition vol. 1!
Ordered! Pity shipping to Australia is so expensive
Gonna be a lot of instant noodles for me this week.
Jerome Anker Because volume 2 was not a limited run perhaps? Only 1 and 3.
How can shipping to Australia be SO EXPENSIVE! All other uk places I order from have free shipping!
koko san BMueller Then it's the settings, maybe they can be changed
I already have Volume 2... but I want freebies! Got my order in and have already cleared a space on my book shelf. I look forward to its arrival!
@Not happy I guess there's two issues with shipping to Australia for us. First, our warehouse is in the UK so that makes Australia pretty far away. Secondly, we're not like Amazon in that we only do low volume sales. So, it's expensive for us to ship pretty much anywhere compared to the major retailers. In saying that, even since volume one, our shipping prices have been constantly coming down and we will continue to push this as far as we can.
Honestly, the last thing we want is unhappy fans. We do care about every single order and we will keep doing our best for you guys.
soooooo sad. no shipping to russia
Yay! One is coming to Spain!
I think there's a glitch in the shipping calculator for the bundle.
Regular Postal Service to the states is $85.50 for a total of $160.50.
While quicker shipping through FedEx and "Courier Service" is less than half Postal Service.
Still don't wanna pay $30+ for shipping just for 2 books.
ToneDiez we negotiated a good rate with Fed Ex for US shipping. That's pretty good considering they are coming from our K warehouse.
tbtstt thank you!
I stare at screens all day at work so I really take pleasure to occasionally grab a hot drink and scroll through these books, it's the little things, attention to details I like.
Really appreciate the hard work and effort put into it, I imagine its no easy task! Number 3 ordered.
One bundle now on its way over to Florida. Read the site everyday and have been on the look out to find a car to tinker with, thanks for all the inspiration!
After buying your first book (I am the speedhunter, no 874 of 1500), I
really wanted to buy your second book. Back then it was impossible for
me to use my Belgian Debetcards (Belfius and Argenta) or my Belgian
Mastercard. Also then I did send a mail for support, but sadly enough
I didn't get an answer and a while later it was sold out.
Now that you have the second and third book on sale in a package I
wanted to grab my chance, but sadly enough, the same problem occured.
Can't I pay by PayPal or a regular moneytransfer in advance? I really,
really want these books but due to restrictions in the
"Worldpay"-thing, I can't buy them.
RoK1981 I'm from Belgium as well and if you want to use your Mastercard you need to activate it via online banking that you want to use the card Worldwide.
But yes, Paypal would make it so much easier..
SH, please do something about this. We're talking about real people here not being able to buy the book(s) simply because their credit card of choice is not accepted...after all, these are your supporters.
RodChong ToneDiez i got mine!! with Fedex how long take the delivery to US?
Missed out on the bundle but anyway to still get a discount on volume 2 & 3 (don't care for the freebies)?
Anyone have Volume 1 for sale?
Btw. I believe I just ordered the last bundle package. Anyway to know for sure I got one? I got email from both the speedhunter store and worldpay.... don't want to get my hopes up or pay and not receive anything
Is there any chance of Canadian distribution of these books in the future?
luke_greensill Larry Chen With every dollar you spend you cast your vote for the type of world you want to live in. Your vote was for one where you don't wish to share and you have to pay people exorbitant amounts for them to give the objects of your desire to you. Congrats!
Hey guys, Thanks for all the support. Without you guys Speedhunters would not be what it is today.
peter_petey_pete what are you willing to pay for one?
Great that we can order, but another 80% of the cost spent on shipping to Aus certainly makes you think.
Would there be an option for you to look at getting a printer and distributor in Aus. Car Scene is huge over here!
Agree with PG - added it to cart and found shipping costs the same as the book to AUS
Larry Chen So any news for those who can't order because of the payment issues? Are you looking into it?
Arrived today and it's magnificent. Top work guys, cheers.
Glad you like!
Sadly it's such a long way from our warehouse in the UK.
The books are printed in China actually. We brought over 40 copies to WTAC a month ago as a way to give back to the Australian Speedhunters community.
Tx!
A new version of the Bundle is now in the store
RoK1981 Good news. We just enabled Paypal in our European store :>
apex_DNA Fixed! Paypal now added to our European store.
MatteoVrancken RoK1981 Hi Matteo. We just added a Paypal option to our store. Let me know if you need any help with anything else.
@Nightfall we just added Paypal
BMueller paypal added.
ChristianStengel BMueller we just added Paypal to the Euro store so this should fix your problem :>
ChristianStengel Paypal just added to the store.
@Woodylicious we just fixed this. Paypal is now enabled.
@Woodylicious we just fixed this. Paypal is now enabled.
@Woodylicious we just fixed this. Paypal is now enabled.
@MP Yes! We just added Paypal to the store. Better act fast as there are only 200 copies left or so...
Even tho I've bought mine as soon as it dropped (had an alarm set and all), it still gives me the smile others can now add another volume to THEIR collection.
RodChong BMueller
Great news, they fit, because I got my copy today
I hope you keep Paypal so I can buy more books, shirts, etc...
RodChong ChristianStengel Awesome! Thanks for that
Great that you added paypall, but just a little too late, because this morning a Dutch colleague of me payed it with his Dutch Mastercard, worked out fine,... But good to know that I don't have to bother him anymore next time.
RodChong MatteoVrancken RoK1981 Thx for updating but thankfully I have an awesome girlfriend who borrowed her Visa card and is sending it to me as a birthday gift.
But adding paypal is making it easier to buy stuff from the store.
We added Paypal to the Euro estore today.
RodChong Awesome! Thanks
Was there no explicit limitation number on volume two?
Really hoping to add this book to the other two already in my collection. Recieved and email saying transaction processed but on my account it shows that i need to pay? It has been like this for over 24hrs. Anyone else had this trouble?
Best to contact our customer service.
No it was a much higher production run without hand numbering.
RodChong Ok mate will do. Its showing on my credit card also so have mentioned that in the email i sent them. Fingers crossed its all sorted. Keep up the good work
RodChong Sorry for being a pain mate but is there anyone especially i should be contacting. Havent heard anything back in almost 3 days
You really have to make an effort regarding the packaging of the book and the service when it's shipped... It's only protected by this thin white cardboard case, and its shipped loose in a crappy plastic bag by TNT in Europe. And it's not enough to protect the book!!!! We all know that carriers and postal services are far from being careful with packages... My friends and I ordered copies of the book (separated orders and separated shippings as we're living in different countries), and all our copies arrived damaged. White cardboards case were broken, scratched and torn, and the corners of the slip-cases of the book (the cases with the MacLaren pics) have suffered as well. It's a shame, considering this book is supposed to be a collector and limited edition item, with a "prestige" feeling. And it's sad to know that a huge part of the 1150 copies are damaged because of bad handling and unefficient protective packaging. Also I've personally ordered the book bundle with free keychain+lanyard, but they were missing when I've received my package
and I can't afford buying another set just for the free items 
So the service of your store is really deceiving... Hopefully Volume #4 will improve that. Other than this, great job on the book, it is awesome.
Is anyone else having issues with a payment thats been confirmed and processed but my account on the store still says payment pending. Starting to worry now as its been over 9 days and the book now says sold out
really want to add it to volume one and maximum attack but cant seem to get a reply from the speedhunters store email either. Any one else had similiar trouble?
mrjza70 This company that's managing the store for Speedhunters suffers a huge lack of professionality both for handling/logistics of products and for customer service. This is really deceiving and I shall avoid buying anything else from the store, sadly it's also Speedhunters image that's suffering from it. And it's a bummer considering you guys at Speedhunters are passionated about your work, it seems Kleerfreight is not -.-
@NCQTVS mrjza70 I agree, love speedhunters to bits but this is hurting kleerfreights image. Upto 10days of having this charge against my credit card, no sign of book, no reply from worldpay or kleerfreight. Really hoping it gets resolved or my collection wont be complete
