<VV> Re: VirtualVairs digest, Vol 1 #1235 - 11 msgs

Of all the books mentioned, I seldom see or hear one referenced that I 
personally believe is a treasure (albeit not paper back nor hardbound---it came as a 
unique spiral bound)...I believe (forgive me, its my fathers and he's 120 
miles away), The Compleat Corvair...There were two editions....Anyone else have 
it?

Tony Fiore's "The Corvair Decade" is, indeed, an excellent book and he 
definitely deserves kudos for his work on it.  

And, yes, the high quality hard-cover binding, etc. contribute to the book's 
excellence, desirability and collectibility.  

That said, however, I believe that if it might be more 
feasible/cost-effective for CORSA to re-print it as a paperback, all 
concerned should consider doing 
so in order to make the book available to those new to the hobby who might 
otherwise never have the chance to own a copy of their own.  If, for whatever 
reason, that is an impossibility, I would urge the powers that be to look 
into 
the possibility of securing permission to reprint, perhaps as a paperback, 
Mike 
Knepper's "The Corvair Affair."  Mike Knepper is an experienced writer from 
the automotive enthusiast press and "The Corvair Affair" provides an 
excellent 
history of the Corvair complete with many vinatge photographs from GM 
archives.  I believe that his book, too, should be in any Corvair 
enthusiast's library.
