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).
