"Double Zero" Edition August 2002

This was the very 1st ever printing of FAST MONEY. Only 12 were printed and were designed as "preview" copies for Action and other industry executives, Kelley Earnhardt, and a few others to see for correction and feedback. The rarest one. 19 Chapters, 198 pages.

"Zero" Edition September 2002

This was the "broad beta" of FAST MONEY. It incorporated corrections and feedback from the Double Zero Edition and was sent to all distributors, a select group of dealers, proof readers, drivers, and others. Also added some late breaking data and other corrections. 19 chapters, 201 pages.

1st Edition October 2002-April 2003

The 1st retail version of FAST MONEY, incorporating all the feedback and corrections received from the Zero Edition readers. Also the 1st one to use gloss cover paper and has a cover redesign. 19 Chapters, 202 Pages.

2nd Edition April-July 2003

The 2nd Edition of FAST MONEY offered many improvements over the 1st Edition. The FAST LIST product (a list of distributors) was included in this version at no charge. Also had expanded information and some minor corrections. Has an ISBN number and price on the back cover. 19 Chapters, 231 pages.

3rd Edition Version 1.0 July-August 2003

This was the 1st version to include the Companion CD product that gave the reader sample commercials, store pictures, and forms. It also includes my vision of the future, a great dealer story (Diecast Dreams), complete 2002 data, estimated 2003 data, and much more. Editing and removal of some dated information kept this Edition at almost the same length as the 2nd Edition. Also a complete cover redesign. Due to last minute corrections being submitted, there were very few of the Version 1.0 printed (a real collectible!) 20 chapters, 229 pages.

3rd Edition Version 1.1 August 2003-present

The current version of FAST MONEY, this version has some updated information and corrections from the version 1.0. Also includes instructions for dealers to submit their stories for publication in future versions, eBay pricing data, and diecast as an investment data. 20 chapters, 229 pages.
