Olympic Fan Darcy Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah they are quite pricey. That's only the 2nd time i've seen the Atlanta books for sale. Both times they were over $800, must be rare or very good. Berlin for $300 seems rather high yet they're sold. Istanbul, St Petersburg and Lille were $150, not too bad!! Quote

mr.bernham Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 Berlin 2000 Applicant file? They only had the Bud Book. It's the questionnaire. Quote
tominger Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 Back in 1993 there were no questionaires submitted to the IOC. Only the Bid Books. The first time, questionaires were submitted, was in 2001 for 2008. Quote

The first time, questionaires were submitted, was in 2001 for 2008. Oh, it said it was a 90 paged document that outlined the plans and answered questions posed by the IOC. So maybe this is apart of the bid book set? Quote
Lord David Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Or maybe it's the submission from Berlin to the German Olympic Committee, Most likely in German, as there was a domestic bid race to select a host. 1 Quote

Maybe...anyways I noticed that your St. Petersburg is the same as another cities, just can't put my name on it. Quote

No there wasn't as far as I remember. Post-unification, Berlin was all the rage, other cities voiced their interest, but not in a formal race like for 2012, which ended in the Leipzig disaster. 1 Quote
Lord David Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 I saw a Berlin 2000 bid document on ebay once. It was in German. So I assume they at least did the preliminary work for a formal bid. Quote
