Default Cobra The First 40 Years
Hi All

I received a catalogue from a local car book seller yesterday which featured the book "Cobra the First 40 Years" by Trevor Legate.
The price quoted was $199.00 plus about $7.00 postage. Just for the heck of it I searched the title on Google and found a site www.motorbooks.com. They have it at $US35.00 plus surface postage of $US11.95 for a total of $US46.95 or about $A64.50 at today's rates.

Now I'm all in favour of supporting local traders but this was too big a difference. It's not an urgent purchase for me so 8 week surface mail from the US is OK for me (air rates are prohibitive for a 288 page hard cover book).

If you are interested go to the website above. I noticed when I searched on "Cobra" on their site that they have a good range other than this book.

Philip
