Would you buy a NEW copy of "How to Modify Your mazda RX - 7" by Dave Emanuel

I have been in contact with Dave Emanuel about reprinting his book "How to Modify your Maxda RX7" so the masses can get a copy and not have to pay $100 or more.

He indicated he is willing to do a reprint if there is enough demand. He doesn't know what the price will be but depending on volume could be anywhere from $20 to $30 but this is not guaranteed.

Please vote so we can get a rough idea of interest

Tnx Fred

I would def buy one just to have the book itself. I searched around to see if a used one was available.

Almost 300 bucks for a used paperback. This is one of those treasures I want to find in somebody's yard sale for a .25.

Sure, I'd like to buy a copy at a reasonable price. I don't want to spend as much as they go for on eBay.

I got mine for 14 bucks at a hot rod/muscle car swap meet (go figure!) down in Long Beach. It's been a little roughed up, but I HAD to have it.

If it gets more into depth with mods then I wouldn't mind paying.

I have his first book and thought it was too basic. (in my opinion)

Any updates on this? I'd LOVE to have this book for a reasonable price...

Has anyone talked to him about a possible E-Book? It would be cheaper/easier for him to publish...
