The wedge book has now been released and is available for purchase. It is available on the websites of most large online book retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Nobel, but if you want a copy, I’d ask that you consider buying it directly from the publisher using the links below.

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for promotion! I hope everybody enjoys the book. So many people contributed to it without even knowing it, by posting here over the years. I sincerely hope that the book will help change the perception of the cars. Auction houses and those kinds of businesses will now use this as a reference (because it will the the only one out there).

One thing that I have done, with intention, is change the naming convention to three digits from five. Using five digits (like 13372) creates a sense that there are many thousands of cars. By using three digits (372), we immediately make the cars seem more rare.

The goal here is to make the cars more desired by the collector car world. We will see if that happens.

In a few months, the book reviews will come out and we shall see how the enthusiast world reacts.

I am glad you like it! Let's hope that finally, we will start seeing more positive stories on the cars as a result. I had a chat with the editor of Octane and I think it will be reviewed there. Hopefully other magazines will review it as well.

Mine arrived in Australia last Thursday, pretty impressed with the delivery time of about 1 week!
It is a good quality book, sure you could get most of the content sifting through LagondaNet and the Vassard gallery but its worth every cent in book form.

Anyone seen any reviews of this in the press yet. I understand there was one in Octane?

I would like a scan of the review if possible!

Vincent, The writer from Youngtimers is in love with the book and has contacted me several times. They are big fans of the cars at their office.
