This item is currently in prep at Service Publications, I believe. The last catalog I received from them showed a possible price of about $30.

Well that link is making me feel a little better about spending this much on some old books. The copy offered is in poor condition with damaged cover and spine. It is being sold by Berry-Peterson-Booksellers in Kingston, in case someone in that neck of the woods wants to drop in and dicker.
Perhaps in the world of out of print books that price is not out of line. Consider that the copies of this book that were published by Dr Gregg and sold from the RCA museum for around $10 are often listed these days for around $120 or more.

If I ever get of my a** I will finish Vol 1 of "Drive to Victory". This includes much of the text from the Design Records books as well as the photos from the Vehicle Data books. The difference will be that there are MANY more photos and they are all quality pix, printed on quality paper. There will be 2-3 volumes and the 700+ pages are almost done (thanks to great input from many MLU'ers).

Looking forward to it. Any idea of the price range?
I had always hoped someone would reproduce the design records in hard copy. I wasn't sure there would be anyone crazy enough to do so with the limited numbers of sales of a likely expensive book to a very specialized group of collectors and modellers.

You have just described my business model - and the reason I haven't turned a profit in 20+ years.  I think that the books will retail for $59.95/volume. C
