In my experience, a "good" (ie: informative) used book will command more than the original price when it goes out of print.

The publisher no longer lists it on their site. https://www.cartechbooks.com/
Anywhere else may have old stock. |

I ordered one as a birthday gift for my friend and partner in racing from back in the '60's.
I don't know if he ever got it though !! That was a few years ago and the price was around $25-$30 I think.... My good friend Joe Fasano lent me a copy and I enjoyed reading thru it. Many familiar names and cars.....

I really have enjoyed this book, the few times that I have loaned out to people, I made them swear that it would be returned. Some of the guys mentioned in this book are still racing today. Of all of the money I have pissed away on race cars over the years, purchasing this book was my best bang for the buck as far as hours of enjoyment. Jesus, hours of entertainment for 40 bucks? Quite being such a tight ***, pay for it and get on with your life.

If I had plenty of money, I wouldn't be on here talkin about racing. I'd be out gettin set-up to race a full schedule this season. But, to me, talkin about racin is better than nothin at all. Checked with my library today. No copy of the book in the state library system. |
