Title: New book about Corvettes
Post by: John W E on September 17, 2008, 07:01:31 pm
Hi all

Just a bit of information; I have been informed that some time in the very near future there will be a book released for sale very soon; covering the above topic Corvettes.   So, it will be round about 20 pounds sterling, he couldnt give me an exact date of release of the book which has been newly prepared and written by John Lambert and another gentleman.- Apparently the books are on their way to the UK in a Container somewhere  :D so keep our eyes open for it - if I get any more information; I will pass it on.  O0

Hi John,

The book is being released by Seaforth Publishing and you can pre-order although as you say, it has not been given an official date as yet as I was told early Sept. I contacted them last week to see how it was going and they have now said late Sept.

Hi gents,
Postman came this morning with my book and have had a quick glance through it and covers most areas of the vessel for modelling info. Would have been cheaper from Amazon but helps keep the small businesses going :-)) so will be head in the book tonight O0.

Cheers,

Paul.
