Your getting closer. Where do we send the money? Do you have Pay Pal?

[fordcragar]

On the first post is Jim's email address, [email protected]

I sent my payment to Jim via PayPal.

[Jim Brierley]

Postage to most overseas addresses is $11, so color version is $41, b/w $31 postage included. THANKS to fordcragar, and yes, he does run a Cragar!

[CarlG]

[waxhead]

My book is on it's way

[DennisR]

Book arrived today Jim, excellent many thanks...............

[jim1932]

Got mine.... Wow, I skipped over the "full sized pages" in your original post. I glanced at it and it seems to have a number of new Photos. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those Brierley heads on the cover.

[waxhead]

Received my book, thanks Jim.

[Cheesehead29fordor]

Today's date is 11-12-19, the post is much older but the index posted from fordcragar is current, I had added a chapter on carbs & distributors. I currently have one (1) book in stock but will re-order next month and have more the 1st of 2020. Believe it or don't, I have sold 1649 books, including the one to DD931. I originally figured I would maybe sell 100. Thanks to all!!!

Post here when you have more in, am not in immediate need. Will make a nice addition to my library, and will make some interesting winter reading. Figure I will order when restocked, in case someone has an immediate need for a copy..

[DD931]

Would make a great Christmas present!!

[Jim Brierley]

I've had several wives buy it for their husbands, for Christmas.

Thanks to all !!!

[Y-Blockhead]

Hey Jim. First I have heard you had a book out. My favorite pastime besides working on my Town Sedan is reading about Model As.

When you get your book restocked I would like to get one so put me on your list (if you have a list)..

[Jim Brierley]

Y-block, I don't keep a list but will post here when I have more on hand, probably near the end of the year? Cost has gone to $34 mailed here in the States, first class mail.

[Cheesehead29fordor]

Are there any of the books left for purchase? Is there a link?

Thanks!

Thanks for directing me to #27. He mentioned that he had one book left so I was just confirming that the last book was sold or might still be available. If it’s gone I hope to get one with the next printing.

Thanks
