Sorry guys but I am told that there is going to be a limited print run of perhaps 1500 copies. Once they are gone, they are gone, but they should perhaps be worth more than the purchase price if past evidence is anything to go by. I will definitely sign copies as requested. I have discussed the possibility of a Carriers book as well in the future IF THERE IS THE DEMAND.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to a source of photos of carriers please? I had not thought about a specific book before but now I am proposing one as part of the new series.

Hmm, you might want to check with Nigel Watson - he has been working on a Universal Carrier book for some years now, and it is to be published soon.

Scrub that then! I have suggested DODGE, FORD and GM OF CANADA as future titles.

Anyone got a copy of the official Ford and Chrysler of Canada war albums please?

May I appeal to any non-UK MLU members to take some leaflets for the book series and distribute them to those whom you think might buy, such as museums? Cheers. 15000 leaflets have been printed and in an ideal world 10% would turn into orders.

Hmmm,

We have heard about this Carrier book for some time, and it is eagerly awaited ( by those Carrier owners that can read ) ...

But where is it?

:

Stew wants a couple of copies.

I am off to go and look at Fords' Dagenham assembly line photos..it seems that there are loads of Carrier ones! Have these been seen before?

Stewart, you of all people shouldn't be confused! An update on this Carrier Book is that it has turned into a mammoth task which has been not only hard work but really revealing. Looks as if it will be in 4 volumes. Slight hiccough with publishing and time taken for the huge amount of photographs sourced to be printed. But it will be worth the wait I can assure you. Will keep you posted nearer time which looks like later this summer/autumn.

Nigel,

Thanks for the update.

Geoff has been helping me with my second book - reading, not writing!

ha, ha, ha

I can barely wait for your masterpiece.

Keep us informed.

Stewart
