First, thank you for all of your input and photos. The new edition of my 914 Authenticity book will go to the printer this week and I expect to have them on October 1. The updated book is 136 pages and contains 528 color photos and 48 illustrations. It also has optional Gallery access so that the images in the book can be viewed high res. online on demand (provided free for customers who purchase via the publisher's website: www.tpr-inc.com)

Included in this update is information on engine and brakes/suspension/transmissions not included in earlier editions. The chassis number list is the most inclusive and correct in print anywhere. George Hussey has provided valuable technical information along with Dave Pateman and others. Best news, only $39.95.

I've found the first edition valuable. Looking forward to the new one.

Congratulations! I think I am going to buy one.

Great! Will it be sold through Amazon?

Posted by: 356drb Aug 17 2020, 12:24 PM

It will be available from Amazon about a month after release, based on recent books.

The Gallery online photo access will only be included with books sold on the publisher's website and from Automobile Atlanta. Access may be purchased at www.tpr-inc.com for books purchased from other vendors.

Customers with non-US addresses should purchase the book from Amazon or local book vendors due to the very high shipping cost for individual books. Based on my last book release, they generally will have the books around three months after the October release date.

...sound's good! Hopefully, it will be available in Europe short-term.

Posted by: 356drb Aug 29 2020, 03:44 PM

It can now be ordered online at www.tpr-inc.com It is expected around October 1, possibly a little sooner. We take major charge cards and they will not be charged until the book ships. Books purchased on our website get the online Gallery at no charge (see below).

Update on delivery that was supposed to be today. Surprise, as with everything else this year, it is running a little late, but not that much. It is expected to arrive between 10/9 and 10/14. Barring some disaster, I will have all orders shipped by 10/16. Charges will not be run until the day the books are shipped. Those who have ordered from www.tpr-inc.com already have access to the Gallery, so you can preview what is contained.

I am getting a couple of books, so I could do a group buy for people in southern Ontario, and that way we can save a lot on the shipping and customs hassle. Contact me if you want in.

Posted by: 356drb Oct 8 2020, 11:53 AM

Update from printer. Books will arrive on Monday 10/12. I will start processing on 10/11 and hope to have all of the existing orders shipped by 10/14.

I truly enjoyed the first one as well!

Like your Avatar -- reminds me of my favorite photo of my '36 Cord.

Hoping for a signed copy but I may have missed the deadline. Fingers crossed

Just placed my order. His other books are very helpful and with digital access through his website the pictures are very nice to have.

Posted by: 356drb Oct 13 2020, 04:17 PM

Anyone who has ordered on the www.tpr-inc.com website already has the Gallery access. Your login is your email address and you entered a password when you placed the order. Go to the Gallery pull down menu, read through the information page about how to navigate and have at it!

Posted by: Steve Oct 22 2020, 10:09 PM

Mine also arrived today!! Signed and numbered!! Great book!! Now what to do with the 1st and 2nd edition?

Posted by: bludden Oct 23 2020, 12:11 PM

Just thumbing through it, I found a couple of photos and information I was wondering about without even trying. Already worth the price.

Posted by: 914Sixer Oct 24 2020, 04:50 AM

Mine came Thursday.

Posted by: GeorgeRud Oct 24 2020, 09:03 AM

Nicely done, but now I have to try to get into the Gallery. I only get a screen saying I gave to buy the book, though I gave it in front of me. Not very computer literate I’m afraid.

Posted by: 356drb Oct 25 2020, 11:16 AM

I have been on vacation this week. All orders placed between 10/16 and 10/25 will be shipped 10/26 -- Monday. Next vacation is in June. I think I am caught up on emails. If not feel free to contact me at: 356drb@indy.net

Amazon has it priced at the same level still and says they will ship around November 10. The Gallery is not included with books sold by Amazon, but can be ordered separately at: www.tpr-inc.com

The Gallery is included at no extra charge with all 914 and 356 Authenticity books purchased from us: www.tpr.inc

Books ship by media mail which can take 3 days to 3 weeks.

Single book shipments to non-US addresses are quite expensive ($25-$40). Clubs wishing to buy 10 books will be offered special pricing and will be able to substantially reduce shipping cost. It generally takes Amazon several months to establish inventory in non-US locations.

Posted by: dhuckabay Oct 25 2020, 06:23 PM

Have ordered one also, looking forward to it.

Like the comment on the signature. Thought Med Sch taught bad hand writing. Makes it harder for the lawyers to figure things out.

Posted by: 356drb Oct 28 2020, 06:38 AM

Actually, signed and dated.

Posted by: 356drb Oct 28 2020, 06:44 AM

If you are still having problems with the Gallery, email me directly: 356drb@indy.net

Can't wait for my copy!

Posted by: trick-e Oct 28 2020, 08:38 PM

I’m liking it. Thank you for putting it together Brett and George.

Posted by: flat4guy Oct 28 2020, 08:51 PM

Mine arrived, BUT, it's a Christmas gift so I can't see it yet, ugh !!!
