Default East VS. West Showdown- First printing Sold OUT!
Hey everyone!
Well, Joe Alig and I predicted that we could pre-sell the first run of our book East VS West Showdown (Cartech), and, on the day of its release ( Sunday, April 15th) we sold out in less than 24 hours. If you pre-ordered a copy, you did the right thing, because now its listed as back-ordered on Amazon.com, Target, and Barnes and Noble. I have my advanced author's copy, Joe has his, and soon the folks that did order early will get thiers.

Ther are dedications to many HAMB members and chapters devoted to them as well, so trolls need not cry spam on this thread..but I'm sure they will anyway. So, before the mud starts slinging, I just want to thank everyone that ordered and we'll see if we (I mean Cartech) can make more for those who waited.


Spike

Speaking about mud slinging, you gonna have a copy for us to look at at the Jalopy Showdown?
I saw the book review in Street Scene and it looks really good! Can't wait to get a copy.

The Dodge deserved it..as did all the others in the book. You guys are rulers...however, we only scratched the surface of what's out there..and then there are the ones that we just couldn't fit into the confines of the book...and then there are the cars that disapeared over time..I want to do another book lready..
