One more thing. Bruce mentioned Christmas present. We can also do Gift Certificates, which have been popular as of late for the car enthusiast. Lots of people want to surprise someone with a book about their car (which always turns out great), but I really prefer the owner to be 100% involved so that it is exactly right! It's a great thing to carry around to show off your car(s) when you can't take 'em with you.

Verne ... I just finished your story! Man, it was worth the read. I LOVE the vintage photos (they look like they were originally slides?) I would be honored to publish a book about your car. We can restore some of those old images to their original color and heighted the resolution so they can be blown up and look great on paper. Email me anytime if you want to ask more specific questions.

[email protected]

PS. I have never that color combo. I LOVE the red leather; way cool!

Crystal,
That is an amazing idea and service you offer!!
I just wrote my own "book" which is in the Member's Rides section of this site now. Please take a look. I would love to have a real book made about my car!

Thank you Howard for bringing this to my attention! What real car guy wouldn't love to have something like that to go with the car that's meant so much to him for so many years.!

Verne

Hey Verne. Think she said there's a hundred page limit. Don't think you'd get any photos in your book with your big STORY!

I would have to take a week off work to put that much thought to paper. Great story Verne!

There is NO page limit (unless you want 1000 pages or something !) This is just one thing that makes us very different than most self publishing companies (not too mention we do all the work). I think we could get the 13x11 coffee table book that Howard displayed up to around 450 pages! That would make for a HUGE story and a very impressive book! Verne, I am on my way to check out your story right now ...
