Thanks Randy,

unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that

In any event, I want to thank you for the air time and thank the many who took me up on the offer.

Happy Holidays

Paul

It's something to think about at least.
Sorry

I paid $300 for mine, partly because I wanted to read it and know more about how the 928 came to be, but mostly because it is rare, hard to come by and a nice addition to my collection.

Paul, Your work is simply amazing!!! I WISH I had a Project 928 so I could buy your cover for it... I have a copy of "Porsche 928 / Brian Long" published by Veloce Books. Got it at our BuckeyeLandShark Club's Christmas Party & gift exchange. Although, it doesnt carry the collectible status of the Project 928 work, its a mirror image of it and a very informative read. Probably not rare or hard to come by but I like it...

Joel, I agree, that is a beautiful book.

Anyone got any idea how much a copy of this book sealed in the original factroy wrap/delivery box is worth?

Regards

Fred

Interesting- let's hope I do not need to sell

My coffee table copy is fine but the paper outercover has a couple of creases in it

That is the reason why I developed that case. When you pay that much for a book, it makes sense to store it in a sleeve on par with it's value.

It's also the reason why the limited edition sleeve sold out so fast.

Even though it is sold out, here are pictures for those who have not seen it before:

One of our club members has the Project 928 book (still in the wrapper) and the limited edition cover... Looks even nicer in person! He'll KILL anyone that even looks like they have other than entirely pure intentions... LOL!!

A certain quote from Ferris Bueller comes to mind
