Well, I finally found this book on Amazon.ca. One seller wants $109.53 for it and the other wants $113.95 for it. Suddenly makes the shipping from the USA look good. ?

I just received the notification from amazon.ca that my order has been cancelled, and money refunded. Guess I will have to go elsewhere for my copy.

Ken....was there any explanation for the cancellation?  If so, and depending on what it is, I can forward to the publisher and ask them to get involved.....thanks.   TIM

Hi Tim, all it said was 'product unavailable for shipping', so I don't know what the situation is with Amazon Canada. I know that the book is listed as unavailable through Chapters/Indigo stores (our version of Barnes & Noble), so maybe it's a Canadian thing??‍♂️

Thanks Ken...I will ask the Publisher what's up.  I suspect that I will be told it's another fallout of the messed up book and mag distribution network due to C-19....TIM

I recently purchased Tim's Muscle car kit book and an on my 3rd read through I love it that much. I look forward to getting Tim's new one as I do have some interest in drag racing as my Dad was a sportsman racer in the late 60's. I actually remember Sox and Martin up against a dark red Chevelle at our local track Cornhusker raceway.

I got my copy yesterday from Pasteiner's. I've been glancing through it but will read it in depth later.

Just in case you all missed it, here's the full text of a sidebar for this book that I had to cut at the last minute because I was way over my targeted word count....

Thanks for your interest....TIM   http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156805-full-text-of-an-unpublished-sidebar/

PS - there were at least 1 or 2 other sidebars I had to cut; I'll publish them here at a later date, too.  TB

I just had word from my bookseller that they now have Drag Racing Models in stock, hope to have it soon.

Tim's book is being noticed, here on page 60 of the February '21 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines.

I got my book last week and I am starting to read it at work during breaks. Pretty good so far.  I got it from Midlife Classic Cars.com. It was the cheapest seller. $32.50.
