Volks:

Welcome to issue two of VolksBooks! There have been several updates/corrections/inclusions since last month and many more to come [I have yet to start adding the German, French, or Spanish VW books of which I am aware].

I am also looking into having my trusty Emacs editor generate revision marks automatically, so that the reader [this would be you ;)] can easily identify those entries which are new or have changed. Until then, this is just like the FAQs...you just save the new one over the old and keep on trukkin.

Contributions are always welcomed, not to mention encourage. If you have a book in your library that does not appear hear, or if I have gotten an entry wrong and you have better information, then drop I an E-mail [Roy.Nicholl@ASG.unb.ca] with the necessary information and I will include it in the next issue.

Special thanks go out to Joel Walker, Steve Stone and Ric Golen (did I get this one correct?) for their contributions this month.

Bugs & Things & Bricks...Oh, my!

Roy
