Got mine last week.Nice book.There's a little section about "Spider"Spanakos and his brother with the Monster Mash I and II.And I even got a .42 cent rebate from Amazon
because of a drop in the price of the book.Kind of like a contingency payout.

Highly recommended!

Doug did a great job with it.

Thanks for the byline, Doug.

Re: Grumpys Toy's Book
 

Very good stories. Recommended. But, I was disappointed at the printer's multi typo errors.

Re: Grumpys Toys Book
 

I ordered mine but it is back ordered. I should get it by the 10th of this month. Cant wait.

Re: Grumpys Toys Book
 

Agreed, the few type errors are disappointing but I think they are nearly impossible to avoid.
Those who have picked up the book, or are going to (thanks X-TECH MAN), here are a few errors I came across and the corrections;
1- pg 55 caption notes Exton where as the photo notes Berwyn. Don't ask what I was thinking but my mistake.
2- pg 101. Bill picked up a "body in white", not a white car. Editors error.
3- pg 165. Photo notes an 8 barrel, technically it has 8 barrels but the carb was created so that only 6 are operatioanable. Editors error.
Just the same, as a fan first, it's a pleasure to read and was a joy to do.
