I have been speaking to the publishers and it appears that the series is very likely to happen. I wrote the first book on the origins of the CMPs so to speak but it is thought that you guys, the buyers, will want to see a PICTORIAL BOOK first. The idea is that we have 160 pages full of photos of CMPs plus other Canadian- and British-order trucks, jeeps and forklifts, etc., assembled in the UK. This would whet your appetite for the next book to come a few months later, being the history from 1935 to 1941 in detail.
The books will eb around 160 pages as I said, A4 but landscaped. I would also add drawings whenever possible, but we hope that these photos of brand-new trucks etc. will be perfect for modelling from.
I reckon the selling price will be GB Pounds 25.00, or US$40, C$60 or so UK price. That would be the approximate post-free rate for postal despatch.
The costings by the way stack up so that we can go forward... what I need now is a note of people's snail mail addresses so that we can send a leaflet shortly with details of prices, ordering, etc.
