Wally,
By the way, I did eventually get around to reading your book that my wife bought me for Christmas. It was the one with a title like Shelby, this, that and the other thing. If I was feeling professionally journalist, I guess I could spend 15 seconds and google the correct title of the book.
It was pretty good, but there were some minor points that seemed not exactly accurate. I get the feeling that you had not read the "SnakeBit" book when I read your section on the Series 1. I'm trying to think of some other minor things, ... I think when you discussed the Kirkhams, you said they had seen a "friend's" polish built jet, when I'm pretty sure it was a "relative's" jet. Oh, yeah, of the handful of misspellings or typo's, there was one, that was actually quite amusing, I laughed out loud when I came upon it.
Each chapter began with a story that I believe was in italics to differentiate it from the rest of the chapter. I was wondering about that, was it that each chapter started off with something that was a bit of legend, myth or perhaps maybe even just pure fiction?
Something else that I was curious about, the lack of a forward in the book by Shelby. I would expect that in a Shelby biography. Perhaps your book was not an "authorized" biography. Maybe Shelby Licensing is working to find a professional journalist more to their liking to do an authorized biography.
