First, thank you for all of your input and photos. The new edition of my 914 Authenticity book will go to the printer this week and I expect to have them on October 1. The updated book is 136 pages and contains 528 color photos and 48 illustrations. It also has optional Gallery access so that the images in the book can be viewed high res. online on demand (provided free for customers who purchase via the publisher's website: www.tpr-inc.com)

Included in this update is information on engine and brakes/suspension/transmissions not included in earlier editions. The chassis number list is the most inclusive and correct in print anywhere. George Hussey has provided valuable technical information along with Dave Pateman and others. Best news, only $39.95.

It will be available from Amazon about a month after release, based on recent books.

The Gallery online photo access will only be included with books sold on the publisher's website and from Automobile Atlanta. Access may be purchased at www.tpr-inc.com for books purchased from other vendors.

Customers with non-US addresses should purchase the book from Amazon or local book vendors due to the very high shipping cost for individual books. Based on my last book release, they generally will have the books around three months after the October release date.

It can now be ordered online at www.tpr-inc.com It is expected around October 1, possibly a little sooner. We take major charge cards and they will not be charged until the book ships. Books purchased on our website get the online Gallery at no charge (see below).

Update on delivery that was supposed to be today. Surprise, as with everything else this year, it is running a little late, but not that much. It is expected to arrive between 10/9 and 10/14. Barring some disaster, I will have all orders shipped by 10/16. Charges will not be run until the day the books are shipped. Those who have ordered from www.tpr-inc.com already have access to the Gallery, so you can preview what is contained.

I am getting a couple of books, so I could do a group buy for people in southern Ontario, and that way we can save a lot on the shipping and customs hassle. Contact me if you want in.

Just placed my order. His other books are very helpful and with digital access through his website the pictures are very nice to have.
