Hi Rob
After waiting so long , picked up the new book ...
A lot smaller then I expected , can easily fit in the glove compartment .
Interesting read for me as I am very new to the pagoda  , since last year .

Most of the people on this site can write their own book I'm sure , however still very interesting to me and manages to answer the the questions I haven't thought of yet !

Kemal,

Thanks a lot for the info. As a long-term collector of all kind of 113 literature stuff I am highly interested in the book.

Do you have any info on it, publisher, price, ISBN number or so??

Thanks so much for the info.

These SL books are written by Chris Bass, editor of he 'Gazette', the MB UK club monthly magazine.
Most of the know-how has come from Roger Edwards who was the club 'SL Guru' who sadly passed away last year.
As Kemal says, its a good guide for people new to the Pagoda and looking to buy one.

ISBN for the Pagoda book is 978-1-84584-113-3

ISBN for the 107 book is 978-1-84584-107-2

I got mine thru Amazon at a discount.
