Wyss, Legate, Friedman, Mills.. Where's the 427 book???

[Trevor Legate]

Always good to hear about other peoples trials and tribulations. I feel I am not alone. It can be a long hard slog to get a book completed and you always wonder why the heck you ever started. I consider the Palawan books to be about the correct price when you take into account the relatively small print run, the quality of the product and the work involved in producing them - the price is about right. Sadly, the world expects books to be a certain price when in reality they are waaaay too cheap. When you think that many people pay $30-40 for lunch without even thinking about it but when asked to pay $50 for a book that took about seven years (like my last book) to put together and thousands of dollars to print, they consider it expensive! Odd.

OK, let's say I will produce a 427 book - how many of you would be able to supply either original photographs and/or high-res images of Genuine (you know what I mean!) cars, just to get the show on the road...

I have several old B&W's of a mexican Cobra (CSX3011?) & the Essex Wire car (CSX3009) with Skip Scott that you are absolutely welcome to (I want them back of course).

The road cars, the S/C's, the competition cars - all that stuff would be great! Especially the S/C's since they have been cloned over & over again. I'm sure there are some great Dick Smith stories out there too.

How many of us have put money up front for a copy of the new register? IIRC, I paid something like $175 a couple years ago, completely on the come. How many people would subscribe in advance to a 427 book by Trevor? Remember, he's not just some dreamer. He delivers.
