Hello All,
I bought Nigels book at War & Peace and can highly recommend it. Same clear lay-out as the first two volumes with lots of great photo's. Got the series complete now too. Cheers,

Whole set price
Hi Hans
No special price for the whole set as yet. Am trying to keep prices down as the shipping has been awful. There will be a special price for the set later on when my stocks are nearly gone and these will come as a presentation pack. They will cost more than buying them know. Nigel

Index Panel Problem
Quote:
Only had one other person that that happened to. Firefox browser works fine it just seems to be certain Explorer versions that don't!. If you continue having problems let me know and I can send you a paypal invoice instead, if you let me know your order. Nigel

Worth the Bother?
Yes!!
The smallish annoyance of international business is offset entirely by the quality of the book. It is full of stories, pictures and all manner of Carrier stuff. A serious collection is incomplete without it. Nigel has done another terrific job with this latest effort. Mine came in 2 days from Scotland - I wish the Canada Post would get stuff to me that fast.

Have my copy of VOL III to complete the set here in the USA. There is no better or more comprehensive reference detailing all of the various pattern British and Commonwealth Universal Carriers, including the T-16 being a USA-built vehicle. Can't recommend it enough.
People that don't jump on these while they are available will regret it when they go out of print. Limited print runs often take a very long time to be printed again due to the startup cost. And in some cases, never happen again.

Received Nigels Carrier Vol 3 this week via Lynn Eades our local distributor. I agree with Horsa , if you don't complete the set you'll be kicking yourself. A fantastic series with loads of information and historical photo's and records. I look forward to the website opening up in the near future. Well done Nigel.

Site update
I think the problem with ordering from the US has been fixed. Can someone order again who was having problems please! (Now that's a cheap way of getting a book order!).
Thanks for the reviews guys. Now apart from some other information I will put up on the website, when I manage to overcome some teething problems with that, hence the delay, you all now have all the information that I have. I hope you enjoy picking up the volumes and reading something you haven't read before. That's what I do, and I wrote it!! Nigel

The only thing wrong is that you and your carrier should have been in there, especially with what you've achieved, from where you started.
Then I think about a few others that should have been in there...... Nigel, would you like to put a Vol.IV. together?

Ron send me the details of the problem and I'll see if its something my end or the servers. Someone else had the problem of the index panel not showing and someone else said that solution maybe to ensure that the page is reloading completely and not partly using whats already stored on your computer. Whilst holding down ctrl key press F5 key and I am told that ensures the page loads completely from scratch. I'm sending you a Paypal invoice. No volume 4 I'm afraid Lynn, but hope to have others on the web page. Nigel

Maybe Nigels website could have a page dedicated just for the restorations out there. The same as at the end of Vol 3, what they looked like as found with some background history, pictures of the rebuild and what they look like today. I know MLU covers restorations but sometimes you have to trawl through the Carrier forum (which is fascinating in itself) to find that particular picture of that stage of your resto for comparison. Just a thought. I missed the dead line for Nigels book due to computer breakdowns = teenagers.

Universal Carriers- Works
I just received my volumes in the mail today! Absolutely fantastic and worth every cent. Even the Calendar is solid each month! Actually beautiful as the girls are more shapely than solid!
I was a bit leery at first ordering stuff sight unseen with the exception of the front covers. Nigel you've done a terrific job. Unfortunately I will have read them prior to Christmas.... If I am ever fortunate enough to be in your neighbourhood, the first dozen are on me. Jim
