WOW What a Price !!!
Those of you who follow this (and other) sites know that I always suggest Les Andrews Mechanics Handbook. I have had my Model A since 1975, and I think these books are great.
Today I checked the price
MARC --- $35.00
Amazon -- $64.84
This is unbelievable

Mike, I agree, I always recommend both books. I have had my car since 1975, and I must have 50+ Model A books. Without a doubt these are the best on the market. I never travel without them.

Mechanics Handbook, try buying one in Australia. Ebay AU$49.08 plus postage another $49.08. Used copies can be found at a better price. Postage is killing us here in Aus. I still think it is a must have book for Model A owners

I wonder if Les would ever consider and e-book version of his books --a very handy thing to have on one's smartphone.... or for those fellows down under.

I sold a bunch on amazon for 125.00 the comments, written by be stated that the book was available for a lot less and I even mentioned a vendor. So n9 I have no regrets for selling them for that price.

I don't think i could do that, but I cannot criticize you for thinking of it . And at least you are honest about it, and posted the options. Business is business, as they say.
