Hi Les:

I second the question.......
Also, have you done any other books/monographs we don't know about.

Cheers

Bill

Thanks very much Les:
According to Tankograd, there are three very small outfits in the US that now carry their titles and one of them is a supplier to my HobbyTown USA store.

The preview pages looked as smashing as the photos you have posted here over the years with a lot more information and I will be calling my supplier as soon as he opens tomorrow to order a copy. He does not list your book yet by the way as I assume it just came out.

Cheers
Bill

Hi Les what a coincidence I was attending the MVT National Show at Ashdown Camp today with my Austin K5 & Jeep and we saw your book at Paul Meekins Book Stall but unable to purchase it as not on release untill 26th.
