Default Re: FIRST BALDWIN MOTION SS 427 CHEVELLE FOUND!!!!

Part of the issue is that Marty is funding the book with his own $$'s as among oher things he wants to remain free from the demands a publisher might put on the content and layout of the book. I think the question is whether there would be a better chance of recouping his investment by having a soft cover & less expensive book without as much color or a higher end coffee table type hardback book with better paper and more color. I vote for the nicer more expensive book and perhaps he could pre-sell the book to help offset some of the upfront costs of production. Also a Joel Rosen autographed limited edition could raise some additional $$'s as well. Thoughts?

Well the books a long time coming---I have other"coffee table" type car books--one example "American Muscle"-Otis Chandler Collection which was done really nice--Quality etc.--Motion as well as other dealer memorabilia is still in high demand and IMO --the time is perfect for a book like this especially an autograghed edition if it materalizes---I guess they'll have to juggle some numbers on cost and get some kind of pre-order committment.----I'm in, for whatever!!

OH YEAH--RICK -THANKS ---I'LL make sure if we ever meet, that I'm not standing by an open window

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
