Post by: mdsalemi on July 24, 2012, 20:10:31: Grins of acknowledgment? 66 people, many of them here, are "resident" in the museum in the Pagoda Style book. People from all over the world browse their smiling faces, their beautiful cars, and I think this might bring a big grin (x3) to Tosh! Just a guess, however... ;)

I am delighted for Mr S

If there's been some other sort of smiley readily available, I may have used that

But at the time, copious smiles seemed good

This is the best place in the world to sell your book
go for it

On behalf of the museum--thank you! Let me know when you get it!

Post by: Lars G on August 15, 2012, 21:13:25: I got it a week after I ordered it. The book looks nice.
It is in good company along with the Brian Long book, the new Mercedes Classic magazine and several others in a pile of books, queuing up and ready to get read.

Post by: dwahi on August 23, 2012, 09:44:58: Hi Michael

I was in the Museum last week but had to rush and I really missed going to it as I wanted to buy your book. I have a question: Are the books numbered, as I'm hoping to get a particular number out of 500?

Thanks

Post by: douglas dees on August 26, 2012, 23:30:00: Michael: I spoke with Michael Bock from the Classic Center in Stuttgart. He was a Pebble Beach last weekend and we spoke at the cocktail reception. I advised him about the lack of MBCA information in the computer Kiosk and thae fact that your book had sold old very quickly and lack of English books at the Classic store.
He was not aware of these issues and asked Laura Simonds who was with me to discuss these issues with one of his subordinates to remedy these problems.
