I just got in a couple of new books that I thought you all might be interested in. Both are 1997 British hardcover editions. VW Bus by Malcolm Bobbitt covers the history, evolution, and various versions of the bus, Vanagon, and even Eurovan (although the slant is more towards bus). This is much more than a picture book, with lots of text, pictures of various camper conversions and unusual vans, ads, buying advice, specifications, etc. Very informative book, 160 pages. List member price $24.75 including shipping (within US or territories). Volkswagen Bus Colour Family Album is more of a picture book of various campers (including Dormobile, etc.), busses, fire trucks, wierd applications (how about a bus with huge tractor tracks instead of wheels, used in the Austrian Alps). Good coffee-table book, basically. Covers up to Vanagon, but mostly bus. $17.50 delivered. By the way, with all this talk of Amazon.com, I checked to see how we compared. FWIW, I still have both better prices and faster delivery (they tell you to allow about 10 days, between order lead time and shipping time, for most Bentleys, for example, while I'm usually half that or less). -Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com |
