The content of this book concentrates on human locomotion with specific emphasis on mobility and longevity and its application to movement related products such as orthotics, shoe insoles, sport shoes, surfaces and sport equipment. Additionally, the volume also presents new paradigms regarding the topics of muscle tuning and the preferred movement path. One chapter also concentrates on barefoot running.
The cost is $89.99 CDN plus shipping and taxes where applicable (Canada).

Just ordered my copy. Fingers crossed its here in time for Christmas as I have some time off so can get stuck into it... "Turn down the Queens speech Mum I'm trying to read Benno's book"

Got my autographed copy last week. Looks good on initial skimming. Maybe I'll have time to look at it more on my flight over to Spain in a few weeks.

In my girlfriends own words: "You looked happier opening that package than you did opening the Christmas present I got you." Meh... whaddaya gonna do...
Only really scanned it so far, but seems to be very good, much better than my last couple of purchases. I've read the chapter on orthotics- pretty good. Really like the short, bold summaries for sections of text, means you can speed read.
For those who got signed copies, what did he write in yours? I got:
"Simon Spooner
The foot is the most important structure for locomotion
Benno Nigg"
My budgets already been blown for this year, but if it's as interesting as it looks might have to ignore that and get it anyway!
Budget for the year blown just 16 days in... Impressive! I've read a couple of the chapters and all I'll say is find the £68 from somewhere and get involved if you can.

Agreed, relatively a lot of money, but so far it's the best book I've read since Kirby volume 3, with the possible exception of "sh!t my dad says" - if you haven't read it, do. Thanks, Griff.
Signature-wise, the only difference is the name, but hey.... this guy, with a biomechanics brain the size of a universe, is sitting there signing books. How inspiring do you think he finds that process? Although I was hoping for a "big shout out to Big Dog..." etc.

I'm delighted with mine. Just need to ask Kevin to sign his for me too. Then invest in a book storage unit akin to the one in the Da Vinci code...
What you haven't got signed copies of Kirby volumes 1-3 sitting in a walnut bookcase in your study?
Perfect opportunity to get them signed at Manchester in June. The bookcase, you may have to work a little longer for.
One day I hope to own many leather bound books in a study which smells of rich mahogany. Until then I guess I'll have to continue with printed off PDFs on my bean bag...
