To Ron:

Do you know which cars in the collection from the Museum the book covers?

The publisher told me that they would be $149.50 but I guess once they get into the hands of retailers, all bets on holding the price are off.

Also this publisher is famous for offering special editions of his regular books so I would check on their website if you can get one of those, maybe more expansive binding, etc. I would think if you get it autographed by famous Shelby drivers/ mechanics, etc. it would be a real keeper.

Does it contain historical photos of the same cars in their original racing career?

If I see it at Monterey, I'll give a holler. There is a sort of circus midway at the Monterey Historics where books, posters, sculpture and model cars are sold and I hope to see it at a publisher's booth but maybe they will be at the Quail, too toney an event for me...

I've searched the B & N website up and down and can find no reference to this book at all. Anyone have any idea why?

It appears that Barnes & Noble no longer lists the book.
