What I like about the small frame is that restoration really is take it apart, repair it, paint it and put it back together in reverse order. That's a bit simplified but IMO it is quite simple. the difficulty for me this time will be that I may have forgotten some of the detail!  So maybe this book could be useful but one star reviews don't fill me with confidence. Think maybe I'll take it slow and ask questions here as and when. Did anyone actually buy this book? |

September 2012 release date So basically he's getting advance sales from a book that probably actually isnt printed yet? Surely he would be better off writing/printing the thing and getting some reviews (from sites like this). At the moment one bad review on another publication isnt doing it for me. Cadisfan you say; "Worth its weight in gold this one". What is that based on? Do you have a review copy? |

Well i never knew that its going to be 9 months away for release
But i say its worth its weight as im taking it as a bible of what not to do and were all the little bits go how to over comeproblems im taking it this book should be all the sites rolled in to one there for saving you time of trawling through the net for advice.
Happy new year

Don't know if I can wait 9 months.  Think I'll get started after the holidays. ;D Meantime if I had a penny for every time I sold myself some else's lemon I could probably afford to pay someone else to do it all twice over. As it is I don't but I reckon if this book is all that and I was its author I would definitely be on here trying to get a peer review. Anyone know of that happening? Happy New Year Piaggio! |
