Jim, Thanks for the info! I have been an "Idiot Book" collector since 1971. Back in 1969/70 Dune Buggies and Hot VWs began publishing chapter excerpts in their issues. Right now I have about 1/2 of the editions published, including an autographed first edition! I also have a copy of the "Idiot Book" cassette tape by John himself. The magazine will be a great addition to my collection! Ric
