The 1984 book was my first effort at the saga, when I was young and naieve, in a dark distant time before ClubCobra, if anyone recalls. The Real Thing was done by another publisher and was the 1984 book redesigned, with some new pics and an updated section. The 40 Years book was done entirely by yours truly as I was never totally happy with the other two, so I re-wrote it from the start, shot a lot of new snaps, found a load more 'stuff' and made the book I always wanted, just about...
Trouble is the saga just goes on and on (and on) what with people like the Kirkhams - you might have heard of them - adding to the story with some excellent genuine fake replicas etc etc.

If you can get the book from ebay, good luck - I keep getting out-bid!!!

But - if anyone wants a genuine non-replica copy of Cobra from me, signed by my own quill and all that stuff, I do happen to have one available (not cheap)

Must need some petrol money.

I have a copy of Trevor's latest tome the 40 Years book and it is absolutely wonderful! I compare this work to Karl Ludvigsen's "Excellence Was Expected" about Porsche.

I have a copy for Trevor's book signed from him. Especially nice is the alternate book cover..I've about worn out the signed jacket now I've looked at the book so much...I should have taken the jacket off to preserve it...
Trevor...What was the web page address again to see the Euro version cover and those fantastic prints that you have available...I need another print for my office...and maybe one for a gift....

Hi Blas

Just to let you know that our webby site is back and can be viewed at: www.touchstone-books.net Click the logo to enter and then the Cobra cover image and all will be revealed.

I should take delivery shortly of a 24x20 glossy poster of the book jacket image. Not sure yet how much these will cost, but I'll email you when I work something out, if you're interested. (Or anyone else for that matter)

Also - we are offering free postage and packing on our books for UK buyers BUT purely for the benefit of Club Cobra-ists we would be happy to offer free P&P to the USA for the UK edition of my Cobra book, signed by the disreputable author! Bearing in mind how much air mail costs from the UK, this is a substantial saving! Just send me an email if interested....(oops, apologies if this has become a sales pitch.. :-)
