The Ford Barn

The book has left the printers and will soon begin distribution to the advanced sale purchasers. Copies can be purchased through the Early Ford V8 (see prior posts). There's a very limited number of remaining signed and numbered copies available.

I'm happy with the quality of the paper and printing. It's 274 pages in full color printing. Lot's of color pictures inside. While it was a ton of work I had some fun too and learned lots.

It's not perfect - I've already found a picture caption typo - but it's as close to perfect as I could make it. Several people helped with content which really helped to make it better. If anyone gets a copy and finds an issue, just let me know. I want to fix any problems with an errata sheet at some point.

For now, I'm just going to sit back and relax and get back to restoring my truck which took a 2-3 year slow-down to get the book done.

Deuce lover - I have the order list. There's one book sold to Sheldon in France. If that's you, your book will be on it's way to you soon.

You have an early order so your have book number 15/500.

Do you have a Model 51 truck?

KDL · 03-11-2023, 02:48 PM

Pre ordered mine. Can't wait to see it! Thanks for all your hard work.

Henry - Thanks and I hope you enjoy it.

Several FordBarn folks asked to know the status of their books. I just got word from the EFV8 Club that all pre-publication orders have been shipped from California yesterday (except the international orders which will go out on Monday). So, finally, the long wait should soon be over. Thanks for everyone's patience, it's a long process.

KDL · 03-19-2023, 08:02 PM

Do you know what carrier was used? I'd like to watch for it.

Model51 · 03-19-2023, 10:45 PM

Sorry, it's out of my hands. It's whatever the EFV8 Club normally uses for shipping books and accessories.

OldGold360 · 03-22-2023, 04:15 PM

It has arrived! I look forward to reading thru this book. Thanks again David.

Model51 · 03-23-2023, 09:09 AM

Glad your copy made it. Let me know what you think of it.

nelsb01 · 03-23-2023, 02:17 PM

To answer the question about how the book is shipped:
MEDIA MAIL -- USPS

mercman from oz · 03-23-2023, 06:48 PM

Good to see that the book has started to arrive.
Will be a while before I get my copy?
