Hey guys,
During the last year, I have been working on a new book with Motorbooks, the world’s largest publisher of automotive books – see the picture below. And yes, this book is in English! Wink

The subject of the book, titled Demon Bugs, focuses on modified air-cooled Volkswagens. It features a hardcover, 144 pages and 350 color pictures. Fifty cars each spread over two or four pages. They include VWs I have photographed over the last 20 years in the USA, Europe, Canada and Japan. As you would expect, a portion of the book is dedicated to California Look VWs; but there’s also a chapter about racecars.

Here is a short recap of the book’s content:
. History of the custom VWs since the ’50s, with a number of never seen before pictures
. Resto Custom Bugs (including some cars from the German Folks Klub)
. California Look Bugs (some DKP cars, Lee Gong’s ’65, Gary Berg’s ’67, etc.)
. Turbo/nitrous Bugs (Chad Tostensen’s ’67, Scott Featherolf’s ’56, etc.)
. German Look Bugs
. Racecars (Jesse James’ ’51, Rudy Olivença’s ’50, Pat McDermott’s Fiat, the Project Pinks ’65, etc.)
. Buses and Fridolins
. Ghias and Type 3s
. Volksrods
. Full custom VWs
. … and finally, four of the best Bugs built in recent times: Aaron Broughton’s ’57, Darrell Baker’s ’58, Darren Dilley’s ’55, Randy Gates’ ’52

Well, I guess that pretty much sums it up! Book is now in stock and you can order it online at motorbooks.com (they ship worldwide). Here is the link: http://www.motorbooks.com/Store/ProductDetails_39008.ncm
Amazon also carries it.

Enjoy the book!

5 copies on my way. I also ordered from amazon. The shipping price was the clue...
amazon express 2-4 days = $60 ( I don't like waiting :-) )
motorsite normail air mail = $250 (estimate, but still)...

Can't wait to enjoy it in my good chair with a good beer :-)

Steph,
Do you keep a personal stock so that we can buy it from you direct and you make more $$$?

Dave: Nope, no stock here... Feel free to order it from motorbooks.com direct.
By the way, how was Daytona?
In Europe, it would be easier to buy from Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.?? :-)

Thanks to ALL for your support!!!
