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!
