MissEurasia Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Hi Everyone! I just signed up to this website and I am really happy because there is actually a world that is interesting in not only watching the Olympics, but talking about the bids. Studying bids have been a hobby of mine, I've been called wierd by my friends when I'm asked about my hobbies, but I don't care. Anyways, I see that some people here are very generous and give download links on Bid Books. I love reading Bid Books and the problem I've only read 2, I hope anyone generous will give me download links to the following Bid Books: Toronto 2008 Paris 2008 Istanbul 2008 Leipzig 2012 Milan 2000 Eygpt 2010 Libya/Tunisia 2010 Morocco 2010 If links are given, then thank you to those who do give them. Sorry for spellings or grammar mistakes, I'm typing from my tablet. Quote
MissEurasia Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 Also would love Quebec 2002, Manchester 2000, Salzburg 2010, Anchorage 92 or 94 (Don't matter which one) and Jaca 98 Sorry if I'm requesting too much, but I really want to read these books and see what went wrong with the bids if some are not found then it is fine!

baron-pierreIV Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 There's a whole 'nother folder for this, MissEurasia... http://www.gamesbids.com/forums/topic/21272-bid-books/#entry340363 Quote
MissEurasia Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 I've already checked in that one and managed to get London 2012, Sochi 2014 and Vancouver 2010, there was also another thread called "The Bid Library: Now Open!" But that website has been taken down, another thread called "Bid Book Downloads!" Had links Toronto, Istanbul, Beijing 2008 and Eygpt 2010 but they don't work. Quote
Sir Rols Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Hunt around a bit here - maybe in the bid books forum of the Olympic and bids collectables section as well. I think links to some of those you mentioned may have been posted recently. Quote
Sir Rols Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 You should probably also post you request in that thread as well - all the bid book fans tend to look in there regularly. Quote
MissEurasia Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 No luck, I found out that the user thatsnotmypuppy give bid book downloads. Beijing's Bid Book was available on it's website but now the links are broken. Quote
Sir Rols Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Thatsnotmypuppy is likely to be the one who could most help you. I think he's got the best online collection of bid books here. Quote
MissEurasia Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 I just checked his profile and he was last online on the 22nd of August 2014, so I guess he's been inactive for a while. Quote
ofan Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 I've got Toronto 2008 downloaded on my computer. Quote
mr.bernham Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 I've got Toronto 2008 downloaded on my computer. I NEED THAT OFD beat me to buying it... Quote
ofan Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 I NEED THAT OFD beat me to buying it... No idea how to get it on here though. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 It came with a digital version of the olympic bid book but my laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Sorry guys Quote
mr.bernham Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 It came with a digital version of the olympic bid book but my laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Sorry guys I have one...you could send me the disc and I could upload it here then ship it back over to Brisbane. If that's too much, depending on you PC type you can call or go online to the brands site and you can buy one that will swap out with your extra battery. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook and the side/backup charger can be swapped out. No idea how to get it on here though. You can email me the files if you want. I guess I would have to PM you my address.

MissEurasia Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 Yes! Finally!! Some luck!! Quote
MissEurasia Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 Anyone want Lillehammer 2016? I found a digital version. Quote
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 I can post most of those tonight. Leave it with me. Quote
MissEurasia Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks so much Thatsnotmypuppy Quote
thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 OK - FIFA bid books first - Egypt 2010 - http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/egypt2010/0 Tunisia, Libya and Morocco never published their bid books online. I do have a few of the Moroccan bid newsletters though. 1 Quote
thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Here come the bid books - Anchorage 1994 - http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/anchorage1994/0 - this is the venue guide book. The entire bid book set also included a 64 page questionnaire and a 64 page media facility guide. I only have the venue guide. I do not have anything from the 1992 bid. Jaca 2002 - http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/jaca2002/0 - this is Volume 2 only - all the venue plan info. These books were never online - so this is a scanned copy. I do not have anything from the 1998 bid. To download you just scroll down and click share and download. More coming soon... Quote
thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Quebec 2002 - Volume 01 http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/quebec2002volumeone/0, Volume 02 http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/quebec2002volumetwo/0, Volume 03 http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/quebec2002volumethree/0. These books were never online - so this is a scanned copy. Quote
