I finally ordered a copy too. Can't wait til it's here. I had to settle for the B/W version, as the colour one (72 euro+shipping) was just
too expensive for a book.
I'm not planning a middi, but hope to get some usefull info out of it in order to design a front engined car nevertheless.
Actually, I won't be building anything in the next few years anyway, and til I start, I'll probable change my mind between mid-engined and
front engined a few times  I just like too many cars to build them all

Well at least you're honest with yourself. I've stopped announding my next project. I've got a traditional Locost chasis at 90
percent, but have decided that the thing is too spindly for 300 HP and track days. So either I build a stouter chasis, try the middie ranchero, the
R1ot knockoff, or build the Restomod Traction Avant, or...........

Hey, thanks! Neat to finally see it in a real, actual bookstore. I've been supplying The Pitstop bookstore for a while now, one of only two
bookstores that carry it.
Speaking of that, if you guys know of a major automotive bookstore in Britain, please let me know. I contacted one there and while they expressed
interest, they never replied to my multiple responses. Anyway, it would be great to get it into a bookstore back in the "father land" of
self-built cars!

Thanks,Echidna!
A word to our Canadian friends:
I'm hearing that Canadians are buying a lot more stuff from the U.S. due to the weak/dead/dying US$. The sheer volume of stuff heading north has
completely overwhelmed Customs. This means no matter what's heading north, expect it to get delayed by weeks. I've had exactly one book
get lost in the mail, and it was heading to Canada. I suspect it probably isn't lost (though it's been more than a month), but it's
something to be aware of.
