I was going to get his book a while back, but the person selling them on ebay wants.$18.42 for shipping. Been selling things for a long time and media mail postage likely would not exceed $6.00. Think I will wait for a better shipping price. Rod

I thought I bought mine directly from John when his book was first released. I know he personally autographed my copy. Shipping was reasonable as I recall

I'm glad I got mine a few years ago! Rising prices seem to be the norm today. There was a thread on the H.A.M.B. about the outrageous prices they are getting for out of print books that could be had for five to ten dollars 10 years ago. The really bad part is that the guys making the big bucks on these are not the authors that did all the hard work.

I have an autographed copy, and I'll say categorically, this is the bible for anyone wanting a little more (or a LOT more) out of their flathead. PM JWL directly here on the Barn.

MACs has the book on eBay for $40.30 and $16.37 shipping. But if you click on the book the shipping charge changes to $7.68.

Thanks, guys, for advising prospective buyers. Yes, my book can be purchased at Van Pelt's, or Mac's Antique, or Amazon, or directly from me.

Merry Christmas to all and I hope 2016 becomes your best year EVER!!

Buy it direct from JWL and ask to have it autographed. You will not be sorry. I bought one of his first copies. Merry Christmas to all.

I will likely go that route if the AV8 project does not sell by the middle of May. Farm will be for sale by then, so alot to sort through and sell this spring. Will have to likely find some storage for some things. Will make a decesion at that time on which project to get busy on first. Rod
