"Autobiography" book on Commodore
A glossy, "coffee-table book" about the genesis of the VE Commodore. Lots of great photos. The text is pretty much propaganda, but some considerable insights on the design/testing process are very interesting and show the reasons for some of the characterisitics of the car. Lots of info on the people involved and costs of the project.
The book is around $70 but I got one from Oz for much less; it is published there.
At first I thought..."I was unaware that I had a biography about me."
Nice find but I have to save the money to make my Commodore faster.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

I wonder if Paul could get one cheaper? I wouldn't mind getting one but I can't justify paying $70 for it.

Fleabay says "ONLY HOLDEN EMPLOYEES GOT A COPY.
