Jr. Stock Book ?

[oldskool]

Did some more searching for the book. They're available from Amazon & Wal Mart, for around $40, including shipping & tax.

The rule of thumb is a good used item is worth about 1/2 of the current new price.

So, I'll go $20, total, including shipping.

Gotta be somebody out there who has one they haven't even looked at In years, & will probably never look at it again, who would ship it to me for $20, total.

Hey, it ain't life & death. I'll live if I never see one. If for some reason, I ever feel I just must have one, I'll get a family member to buy one for my birthday or a Christmas present, & it won't cost me a penny.

Go to your local library if you're on a tight budget. The folks there can probably get the book from their sysyem.

Great idea. I'll try that. I can just get the info I need, from the book, then take it back. Since I'm a Pontiac guy, & not interested in other brands, there will be very little info in the book I can use, especially the pics. Don't really wanna see hundreds of pics of Chevy sedan deliveries, or Fords & Mopars of every description. Saw plenty of those in the Jr. Stock thread on the H.A.M.B.

But, hopefully, there will be race results, & nat record info I can use.

Thanks again for the idea ! I'll check with my local library tomorrow. I've had them get books from the state library, before. Don't really see why one of these books would be in our state library system. But, I won't know til I try.

In my experience, a "good" (ie: informative) used book will command more than the original price when it goes out of print.

I assume this one is not out of print, since there are numerous sources, including Wal Mart, selling new ones for around $40.

But, I really don't know when it's last printing was.

The publisher no longer lists it on their site. https://www.cartechbooks.com/

Anywhere else may have old stock.

I ordered one as a birthday gift for my friend and partner in racing from back in the '60's.

I don't know if he ever got it though !! That was a few years ago and the price was around $25-$30 I think....

My good friend Joe Fasano lent me a copy and I enjoyed reading thru it.

Many familiar names and cars.....

Mine just arrived today.It's a great book. Some old familiar names, some neat old race cars(where are they now?) It's a good read.
