Thanks Bryan. I've been after one of these for years!
I'm not sniffy about a new print run - why pay £100+ for a used one now?
Do our friends over the pond know?
Steve
PS: I'm sure that's Eamon's K0 on the front cover...
-
This will force the price down!
-
Yes i have been put off buying because of the overinflated ebay price, i have pre ordered one for myself
Thanks for pointing it out to us Bryan

Managed to get a second hand one from Amazon about two years ago (£15). I did speak to John when I was picking up some paint from his neighbour (Andrew Parmaby) and mentioned the price of his book. He was a bit surprised and said that he was thinking of re issuing.
Must have got round to it at last. Good news for all (except me as I have an old no longer valuable copy. :-[
-
I guess you've all had the same emails from Amazon over the last six months. Is this book ever going to appear?
-
Haven't had any e-mails about this ( or perhaps deleted them amongst spam :-\ ) and am still waiting, what are they saying then?
-
The publishing date on Amazon says it's due for release on 28th Sept 2012.
If it's any help, the original was published by Bay View Books in '98; the one on Amazon is (going to be) published by Herridge and Sons, who seem to specialise in transport books.
The Herridge website promises much but delivers little. But maybe drop them an e-mail . . .

;) yes its a very good read john Wyatt is one of the original restorers he knows his onions, i bought two from a bookstore seven quid each, about six months after the release (something to do with the royalties i think),there was about twenty of them i thought then they was really cheap , i should have bought the lot and stuck em on fleabay :o

Sell my original for sensible offers ;D

Hi Bruzer.
Can you not still order it from Amazon?
If you have the Hondaman book, I assume that you are a member of the .net site too?

Why do you need to buy a book and make some one well off when its all on here?
Cheers

Good point Bitsa, also, am I the only one to remember the CBX engine rebuild John Wyatt did for Classic Motorcycle Mechanics about 25 years ago, lasted less than 100 miles as he failed to clean the oilways after blasting the crankcases :-X
-
2 years and a week.
Is this the longest leadtime for any product you've ever bought from Amazon?
Delivery May 10th :)

Not quite true I don't think Bitsa. Andrew Parnaby, who is in the next unit to John Wyatt, used the book to get dimensions of where to paint the pinstipes on my 750K0 tank, supposedly from that book. Anyone got Mark Paris's book (Hondaman on US site)?
Cheers ... AshD
-
I've got an early paperback copy of Mark Paris' (Hondaman's) book.
-
I've got the hard copy of Mark's Book, purchased about 2 years ago.
Excellent detail.
