...Put on your seatbelt for this. Carol Gregg just sold her house.

She had a book seller from Acton in and sold him 10 Profiles books for $25 each.

There were some Blueprint for Victory and the first Profiles made.

Some Vehicle ident. books too.

Don't you wish you went to see her???

I have fairly high resolution scans of the Profiles book (2 to 13 mb per page) if anybody wants a copy. It would be nice if somebody had a web page to put them on.

David,

Great! Can you put them on dropbox or Google Drive?

Thanks,
Hanno

Les.

I could be mistaken about this, but I think the Profiles Set Bill Gregg produced was a very limited edition, unlike his other two books. The Profiles were all numbered and the first batch went to the Attendees at Bill's CMP Conference. The rest he used as special gifts and the sort.

Maybe somebody in the OMVA can track down that book seller.

I beat a path to the seller and got one new leatherette profiles, one test run sample profiles, with Greggs ownership label and GOLD covers. And One second series of Canada's Fighting Vehicles with Gregg's large label inside with "Sample copy" typed on it.
He printed 1000 numbered books. Sold them for $65 each.
Att'd is a print of his ad flyer with prices.

The page is too large to load. They sold for $65 each.

Good to know you were able to purchase a few items, Peter. Who knows where the rest will go.

Took a look at my copy and rediscovered the sticker on the inside cover. Mine is #82. My memory may be playing tricks on me, but do you recall if the Profiles came out as a finished set, or did Bill publish the sections over a period of time and mail them out to the purchasers? I have a nagging recollection of eagerly awaiting release of the sections over time, but that just might be the effects of last night's hangover!
