Got my book today as well!
You gotta admit, he can take fantastic photos!
Besides my car, I see he used some of the ads I have.
Now I have to start reading it!

Since it doesn't contain any Camaros they will probably end up giving the rest away as well

Got my copy today!

I decided to fire off an e-mail to David to touch base with him. Apparently he lost my contact info. so I did not get included in the original mailing list, nor did I get a name mention in the Acknowledgments page.

BUT, 3 photos of my car grace page 86! Right in front of George Scala's Turbo TA.

but seriously, I'd like to check it out sometime. Maybe someone can bring it to the next meeting if I'm not out of town again.
