Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Posted September 24, 2012 Yes i saw that a lot of pamphlets/newsletters. $38 reasonable price. Same seller wonder what connection they had to the bid or just an avid collector whose snagged some Brizzy stuff. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Posted September 24, 2012 May be a stupid question but would I be able to borrow it out or no? Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 Brisbane 1992 Olympic bid book is 3 volumes pretty sure 3 books have just requested it and will pick up in an hour but may not stay til then so will check back in coming days. Pictures will be posted. However it may be like the Sydney bid book they had here which was just in a boring old book and photocopied (hope they have the real Brisbane bid book as it is the state library of the bidding city) Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 They discussed gold coast But it was not part of the cluster plan it was all Brisbane not spread out to Gold coast 3 Quote
Lord David Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Wow. Looks better (physically, i.e leather bound) than Melbourne or Sydney. Looks like the bid book seen on ebay is all of this, condensed into a single book, following the same design scheme and using some of the same pages as from here. All in English huh. I assume much like the Melbourne one, they produced a separate version in French. Sydney's was bilingual. Edited September 27, 2012 by Lord David Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 It was really cool. Yes that single book has it all in it the others are summaries and i feel like there more something for the libraries as the inside is just pieces of paper with boring black writing. Yes the thing on Ebay is the one in the middle which is where all the images i posted came from. I'll post more tomorrow and you'll understand what i mean by the other two books being boring. However they have the same green outside so i am unsure if they sent it to the IOC members or what. You have to request on level 4 and wait 1 and a bit hours then read it there and return it can't leave with it. Yup all in English there may be another bid book in french unsure. Quote

intoronto Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Interesting to look back at London's book. It looked so different then what was in the book! Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 I LOVE YOU! Haha your welcome Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 This is what the sports book was like had boring black and white writing and simple pages with just ring binders what else was inside the sports book discussed venues and where etc Sent delegates to the 1976 games! Thats 16 years before the games. That's like bidders for 2028 investigating London Plans for boondall Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 The library also had the Sydney book. But it was photocopied and in black and white. Found this a bit funny which cities had support of the bid. Melbourne and Brisbane both had lower averages than others. Keeping in mind if Sydney lost Melbourne would bid 2004. Quote
Lord David Posted September 29, 2012 Report Posted September 29, 2012 Of course Brisbane and Melbourne would have had lower support than other cities. Those 2 cities had bid prior to Sydney and an agreement was made that Sydney automatically got the nod for 2000 and only if that failed Melbourne would try again for 2004. The other cities could have easily have been close to the 80% or even 90% mark. After all, they aren't bidding on their own for any Olympics and by supporting as much as possible, they would be involved in the Olympics in a greater scope, like the torch relay or football preliminaries or both.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 I know i found it rather funny. Quote
Lord David Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 To buy or not to buy? Is it worth it? (considering we'll probably never see the full 3 file bid books on ebay) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280975683487?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 In all honesty it didn't even look like 3 bid books. Yeah they had the same green lather but the main one was whats on eBay now. All the others were black and white. That said I am probably wrong and they were full of information to help support the bid whilst that was merely a main summary etc Quote
Lord David Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 I'll wait for a re-list, might go for cheaper by then. In all honesty it didn't even look like 3 bid books. Yeah they had the same green lather but the main one was whats on eBay now. All the others were black and white. That said I am probably wrong and they were full of information to help support the bid whilst that was merely a main summary etc Did the sports book have technical diagrams? I know Melbourne's and Sydney's did, as did other bidding cities sports book. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Yes it had diagrams off the setup of Boondall village and cluster Quote

Lord David Posted October 6, 2012 Report Posted October 6, 2012 Any chance to lower or completely remove costs? Or maybe just a small annual subscription fee similar to here? I'm not dissing about the costs, I get why they're there, but considering the old bid library had similar stuff uploaded for free, surely this can do something similar? Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 Paris 2012 Olympic bid book on ebay! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PARIS-2012-OFFICIAL-OLYMPIC-GAMES-BID-BOOK-CANDIDATE-CITY-LONDON-2012-OLYMPIA-/221136894333?pt=Sport_1&hash=item337cc9397d#ht_534wt_1271 $470 AUD 369 euros. 70 euro. $89 AUD postage. Quite pricey. I got my Paris one for $62 but paid about $80 bucks postage Quote
Boris-K Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 They will be added to the GamesBids library soon... http://www.gamesbids.net/library Oh please, don't tell that's not free Before, I took the bid books from bibilotecaolimpica, now that's closed, I have to pay to look at some olympic bid books ?
