Received my book today. It is just beautiful! Thanks for giving these athletes their due.
Creator Mike Lee on December 18
Hi Albert, I tried again and I'm an idiot. I did not notice the check box that defaults to shipping to your billing address. I'm good and just put in an order for a friend and will place another shortly for my cousin. My apologies for the confusion and thanks for the quick response. Take care and congrats on your book. My wife and I absolutely love it.
Creator Albert Lewis on December 18
hi and thank you!
you should be able ship to another place, is it giving you an error?
if it is in the same country as your billing, just put the correct addresses in the notes to me and I will take care of it.
Creator Mike Lee on December 17
Hi Albert, I received your book and it's more incredible than I imagined. Thank you. One question on your seespotrun site. I wanted to order copies of the books for friends but it looks like you cannot ship to a different address than the billing address. Is that correct? Thanks for the help.
Mike
Creator John McGrath on December 13

Creator Olivier Vigneresse on November 30
Hi, Albert,
Any progress on the various alternative shipping options suggested for sending overseas?
Creator OG Butch on November 16, 2012
Thanks, I appreciate the quick response.
Creator Albert Lewis on November 16, 2012
Hi OG, several updates in the last two months. The books are arriving next week and I will start shipping them out in the order I received the order. Thanks!
Creator OG Butch on November 16, 2012
Any update on this project? It has been two months since I have seen any information.
Creator Albert Lewis on October 10, 2012
Hi yes, I have learned some but need more details. It appears that shipping to US will be $12.95, europe, $42.95 and NZ and AUS will be around $52. How to recoop those costs, that I have not figured out. :)
Creator Matthijs van Wolferen on October 9, 2012
Hey Albert, any news on the shipping problems?
Creator Martha Kriske on September 18, 2012
How many books to ship to Europe and beyond? What about if everyone in the US sends in a little bit more toward their shipping. . . like maybe another 5$ ????
Creator Albert Lewis on September 2, 2012
The music is Espiritu, thanks!
Creator Jane Eagle on September 2, 2012
Is there any way to find out who does the music for the video? It's almost as good as the photos!
Creator Mike 'Baracas' Roland on July 19, 2012
Good luck! I can't afford the book right now but would love to know if it would be digitally accessible maybe. I'm a husky owner and of course Love the Iditarod!
Creator Marlys Sauer on July 11, 2012

Creator Allie Marie on July 10, 2012
I'd sent you a private message, confirming you've received. Thanx & have a great day!!
Creator Albert Lewis on July 8, 2012
Allie, , I will cover the print postage, but thank you for offering!
Creator Allie Marie on July 8, 2012
Morning Albert, it occurred to me, since I choose the pic that I want from the pics in the book, should I add some more postage since there's gonna be 2 different shipments? &, oh look, we've almost covered the entire printing costs!! Way To Go!!
Creator Albert Lewis on July 7, 2012
Rachael, you did great and I thank you!
Creator Rachael Rogers on July 7, 2012
my 1st time on kickstarter. hope i did everything right when pledgeing. I just want to say what a beautiful project this is and i'm so happy for you raising well over your goal. Happy to help aswell. :)
Creator Albert Lewis on July 7, 2012
Now THAT'S a smart idea Jennifer! :) Thank you.
Creator Jennifer Volintine on July 7, 2012
Actually - I think I'm going to splurge and get an early Christmas gift for someone...
Creator Albert Lewis on July 7, 2012
Thank you Jennifer! Perfect!
Creator Jennifer Volintine on July 7, 2012
Such a wonderful project - can't wait to see the final project. I hope I added the right pledge amount with the shipping.
Creator Deadly Nonchalance on July 4, 2012
I've always had a fascination in the Iditarod, I'm happy to fund a project that will help out those that help the dogs!
Creator Alice Roth on July 3, 2012
Albert, I love the pictures of the beautiful dogs. I have made a pledge for the Lance Mackey signed book. I included $$ for your signature and postage. Thanks for taking on this project.
Creator Gale Browning on July 3, 2012
Not only am I happy to contribute to get the Born to Run book published I'm learning from your Kickstart projects. Your passion for the project is contagious. It's giving me goose bumps.
Creator Pam Schweitzer on July 3, 2012
Thank you! Enjoy your time in Canada. Give a special hey to Bet. She is not an Iditarod dog, but she plays a special role to the kennel and fans.
Creator Albert Lewis on July 2, 2012
Hi Pam, absolutely! I didnt see that coming but I will be happy to offer both signatures to the books for an additional $25. You can go into your pledge and increase the amount by $25 and send me a note that is what you want. I will make a note myself for those who wish to have both signatures in their book. THANK YOU!
Creator Pam Schweitzer on July 2, 2012
And will you consider offering to sign musher autographed copies for the $25.00 to others? If so, how do we add that option?
Creator Albert Lewis on July 1, 2012
The musher signed books only have the mushers signature, but i did do a special deal for one pledger of giving them BOTH signatures and an extra 4 postcards for an additional $25. Pretty sweet Deal!
Creator Allie Marie on July 1, 2012
If it's signed by a Musher, do we also get your signature on the book? I was speedy on the order & then you added all this good stuff!! Thanx & still posting your link!!
Creator Janet O'Connell on June 30, 2012
Albert I saw heard about your book on Colleen & Joseph Robertia's web page. I'm thrilled that a book is coming out and highlighting the amazing canine atheletes of the Iditarod. Signed up for a book (and included shipping LOL). Hoping that Butterscotch, Mighty Penny and other fav dogs from the Rogues Gallery Kennel make the book!
Creator David Lavsa on June 28, 2012
Ok I pledged under my husband's name so feel free to send as one order. Thank you!!!
Creator Albert Lewis on June 28, 2012
KIM, yes, that is perfect, please add postage for the two books and I will take care of the rest.
You can also pledge again for just the book alone.
Creator Kim Lavsa on June 28, 2012
I'm signed up for the Karen Ramstead pledge but if I include the extra money in my pledge, can I also get an unsigned copy to donate to my library? Thank you, can't wait for the book!
Creator Albert Lewis on June 25, 2012
Absolutely Bonnie. I have that as a possible "next book project". To go to the homes of these dogs and do a "day in the life of" for the older dogs. Such a sweet story and wonderful image for the sport, I think!
Creator Bonnie Foster on June 25, 2012
How about photographing some senior Iditarod dogs whose days of running are over but are immortalized by what they did in the past? They are beautiful also....and have old souls...
Creator greg gulbransen on June 23, 2012
Albert I love this project and can't wait for the book. I'll bet after 30 kennels you must have some amazing stories. Thanks for letting me be a part of such a great project!
Best wishes
Creator Kari Lawson on June 22, 2012
Can't wait to get your beautiful book! I lived in Skwentna for a year and have been an avid Iditarod supporter ever since. I look forward to sharing your book with my class (I teach elementary school) when I teach them about the Iditarod. Living in Tennessee, the race is completely foreign to them, but they become fans after they learn about it. I love educating them about the amazing dogs and the people of Alaska. Thank you and good luck!
Creator Gator Lanphear on June 21, 2012
Great to see you're back at it! Hope all is well! Give those Scallywags a good belly rub from Jolly Roger's Revenge! ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!

My people photograph dogs....many do it well, but no one has approached it on this level...Takes a NY fashion photographer to see the soul of these fantastic animals and the love the owners have for them...Anyone who loves dogs has to buy this book....
Creator Albert Lewis on June 20, 2012
Thanks Alexis, I had chills while making it! These dogs just do that to me. :)
Creator Allie Marie on June 20, 2012
The commercial was fantastic! Brought tears to my eyes. I love these doggies!!
