Date: 1996-06-16 Volks: Here is the first edition on VolksBooks, a snap shot of my ever growing bibliography of air-cooled Volkswagen publications. I do not have all of these in my library [though I have most of the Type-II literature]. This list is by no means complete and everyone is welcome to contribute. Submissions should be sent to Roy.Nicholl@ASG.unb.ca and should contain Title, Author, Publisher Date (of publication), and ISBN. Additional information [ie VW Part No., Comments/Review] is always encouraged. If time permits, I will turn this list into a Network accessible database that can be queried via the Web (or something). Bugs & Things & Bricks...Oh, my! Roy
