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...

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?

[Waggles]

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 . . .
