Re: Volvo 480 book
I contacted Eric some time ago about the book but haven't heard back. Has anyone else heard about how to order this?

I got a message back from him saying that I had been added to the list and he needed about 100 people to fill up his orderbook, and that he would get back to me with payment details when things were clearerjamescarruthers wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 5:53 pmI contacted Eric some time ago about the book but haven't heard back.

Re: Volvo 480 book
Eric emailed me a few days ago to say that he has sent the order to the printers even though he only has about 30 orders. This is because some copies are wanted as Christmas gifts.
If he still has stock of them when I start planning the next meeting (whenever that might be !) I shall order a small supply to bring with me and hopefully sell a few more for him.

Re: Volvo 480 book
Is everyone still waiting for the replacement book/s?
I paid on 10th December and I've not got anything yet. Am I thinking right; that he is having a whole new run printed to correct the 'pages falling out' errors?

Re: Volvo 480 book
Yes, still waiting. Although I got a refund until such time as the new print was confirmed.
Re: Volvo 480 book
Yeah still waiting, he was unhappy with the quality of the product, so is undertaking a reprint, haven't heard anything yet

Re: Volvo 480 book
Yes, it wasn't just the binding that was a problem, it was also that they used an old version that he'd submitted for a test print so it didn't have the final corrections to the spelling and grammatical errors. I have now finished re-doing it all so hopefully the re-run wont be too much longer.

Re: Volvo 480 book
My copy arrived yesterday as well - so frustrating to see the errors. I now suspect that Eric has had to type all the text into the publisher's website, rather than upload it as there are mistakes I haven't seen before. It must have been really challenging in a language he is not very familiar with - such a shame I couldn't have done it for him. Anyway , it has taken a huge amount of his time over the years and all done for love of the marque rather than profit. The information it contains is way above spelling mistakes and I just love his exquisite drawings so it's a big round of applause from me.
