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.

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??♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 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 Thanks for your interest....TIM http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156805-full-text-of-an-unpublished-sidebar/ PS - there were at least 1 or 2 other sidebars I had to cut; I'll publish them here at a later date, too.

lordairgtar Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
