Default Les Andrews Volume 1

Is there anyone who can sell me a (used or new) copy of the Les Andrews book Volume 1 and send it to EU/Belgium ?
I looked on the internet and noticed that all the Model A ford suppliers are charging me unrealistic prices for shipping ! Not to mention Ebay prices !
Thanks

How about MAFCA or MARC? I noticed that Bratton's list the book for $34.95, and MAFCA for $38. Are those Ebay prices? I have a daughter in France, so I know shipping is stupid expensive. I almost never send her anything for that reason.

A few years ago, someone gave me volumes 1 and 2 on CD. Computers and I hate each other but maybe, if I speak nicely to it, I might be able to send you something electronically.
Pity this wasn't posted a couple of days ago. A friend has just left for Belgium to watch the tennis. She could have taken it with her.

Do not buy Les Andrews Book on Amazon. The book sells for $38.00 on the MAFCA website, and on Amazon you can pay $62.75, or $164, or $675.81!!!!

MAFCA website

https://mafca.com/cart/index.php?productID=166

Amazon website $62.75

https://www.amazon.com/Model-Ford-me...echanics+books


Amazon website used at $164 and $675.81 but they both have FREE shipping, click on 2 Used from $164.54 at the below website

It's a good book, but what information are you seeking? There are many sources, and electronic transfer of data is free. Like this site!

Also, maybe someone here is traveling to Europe and could take a book along and mail it to you from wherever they land. I'm going to France in May and would do that for you if you could wait.

Thanks for the offer but I think I will buy the ebay one.(link above).
What information am I seeking ? For the moment nothing. I guess it's just : "I want to have the book everyone is talking about"

Maybe you can find someone from Belgium that is going to Hershey for the car show?? I remember that there was a few groups from Sweden and Germany who went every year and pooled resources for shipping things home...

You only need about 1/4 of the book.

It is repeated over and over inside ad nauseum.
