The new book is available from Amazon for $21.and change but won't be out until June.  Club t shirts are available thru the National meets and Ben in Texas has some older meet club shirts in large sizes and he also offers several varieties of patches.  I bought one of each and they are nice.

I got my copy today from Amazon.com for $21.75 and free shipping if you buy at least $25.00 worth and it is not hard to find a second book in their large inventory of auto books.  It was a little disappointing in that the only color was the colorized color cover and all of the pictures were of press photos most of which we have seen many times before either in club publications or other K-F books.  There is a little text along with each photo.  Co-author Bill Tilden claims to have been the K-F Club historian for thirty years and is member #191.  All in all it is a nice addition to our Kaiser Frazer library and is a soft cover picture book like most in the Iconographix series.  126 pages and the size is 8 1/2 X 10 1/4.

My copy came yesterday.  Yes, I too have seen most of the photos but its nice to have them in one place (book).  Price was right on Amazon, even paying the shipping!

I bought one of those cd's from Ben last year and it has about three times the amount of factory photos as in the new book.  Check out the neat things that Ben offers and his site lists and illustrates almost every piece of K-F literature that was ever printed.  If you have not yet visited his site prepare to spend a couple of very enjoyable hours there!
