Default Self-publishing Chrysler Valiant book - order deadline Fri 3 pm - want one?

Hi everyone,

Some of you may know about me and the 130 or so car model charts I've created over the past two years covering Ford, Holden, Chrysler, British, European, American and Japanese cars. They are those model chart prints on eBay.

Over the past two years I developed model charts covering the entire Chrysler Valiant range from the RV1 to the final CM and now I have the opportunity to turn it into a book by taking advantage of a professional printing offer that ends tommorrow, so I have to finalise my orders by 3 pm Friday so I can go and submit my artwork.

I've been working up to midnight all this week to re-write everything from my extensive model charts to work it into the book format, compile and proofread all the text content, technical specifications, model ranges and other information that will go into fact boxes in the book. There is also a motorsport summary, a comparison between the Valiant, Falcon, Kingswood and P76, and a production timeline summary at the back.

The layout/format book itself is based on the collectable Holden Heritage books put out by automotive writer Tony Davis. It will be A4 size, soft cover, 20 pages, professionally printed in semi-gloss colour. It is strictly limited edition and I'm very excited to have this opportunity. Each book will come with a signed letter declaring it as first edition and 1 of only X copies.

If you're interested in seeing some draft images of the book pages, the list of chapters/sections and find out more information, here is the link to the eBay page to place your order:

Many thanks to RussellW for allowing me to post this info at short notice.

Andrew (Dauphin).
