I have not seen this posted before so thought I would put it up for comment.
Dave Chang has his "Digital Slot Car Racing in 1/32 Scale" book due to be released in Nov. If you want to read about it check it out at Dave's website -- (link) From what I have seen it is being advertised at the various Amazon sites (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, etc.) for pre-ordering as well as directly from Dave's website. Maybe someone has had a preview and can give us a review? Or if not, will someone review it when it is released? Cheers!  Moderator ... if this should be in another forum, please relocate it. I was not sure if it should be under Media or Digital. Thanks. -------------------- My 4x12 layout | Track Categories | Digital/Sport PB wiring | Track cleaning vehicles
Modular layouts |Throttle Holders | PB-Pro separation | Rivets for barriers ----- PB-Pro+SH, SSDC, RichG Lap Tower, Pit-Pro ----- (Track still under development) ----- "analysis paralysis" - inability to make a decision after extensive data gathering & evaluation. |

There's quite a few pages to browse (legally) here: link
I found Dave Chang's last book very useful particularly whilst still at the early stages of slot car addiction but it's still a good read and good to have all the tips in one place. |

Yes, the preview is very interesting (I also have his first book).
Just want to make sure I can get the new one with free shipping from either a hobby store (that is where I found the last one) or via the internet. Cheers!

Glad you got it safely and like it!
By the way - my first shipment of stock ran out quite quickly mainly filling pre-orders, but I now have restocked. -------------------- |

Astro,
Do you know when shipments will be making their way to N. America? I would prefer getting it from a local shop if possible and if not then off a N. American web site that begins with "A" (hint, hint) since they do not charge shipping. Please advise. Thanks. Cheers!

The US distributor (Motorbooks International) are adding the title to their Spring catalogue and planning to release the book around March time. Sorry about the long wait - but that's how it is. I ship internationally if you are in a hurry!  -------------------- |
