Crammed with great LRDG info and an obituary for the late John J. Valenti - well worth having!
Also happy to see my article on the Chevrolet 1311X3 15-cwt truck published

C’mon MLUers, only a few more copies to be sold to make break even for Kuno. Publishing is not done for profit, but costs need to be recouped and spent on making the publication of next year’s issue possible.

So if you have an interest in the LRDG, do like Bob and Tony and put in your order to Kuno via email - info@jebelsherif.org - or through this webshop: https://www.bod.de/buchshop/catalogs...%5D=1#products

Hi Bob - I wonder where the $45 Canadian come from. We sold TRACKS 2023 for EUR 21.- including shipping worldwide... which would equal about $31 Canadian.

Hi Kuno

One has to keep in mind the conversion to the "LOW" value CDN dollar and the fee for the conversion and the fee for the fee of each bank entity involved.

It is a shame that we pay more and more and the writer gets less and less.

The same applies to NOS CMP parts that surface around the world...... expensive but "price-less" if you need them.

And now inflation........ a 4 inch long RIVET set tool to fit my impact hammer was $39 US about 2 years ago..... now I ordered a 5/16 rivet set for button rivets of the tailgate of my cab 11....... Price.....$.....please sit down first.... $190 Cdn......... and yes I need it for 24 rivets so my resto tailgate will look original......

Nonetheless I paid the fiddler, got the Track book and have read it at least twice so far.....worth every penny!!!!! and ready in line for the 2024 copy!!!!

Cheers

Thanks for all the good work going on behind the scene.

Hi Bob (from a distant island) keep in mind you live in the cheap half.
Our dollar exchanges the U.S. dollar at 60cents not to mention the freight.

Hi Lynn

So far I can still enjoy the imported white wine from N.Z. so things are still tolerable!!!!!!! They were $13 a bottle but it's popularity has now caused it to be listed in the "Vintage " section and goes for $20+........
