New book on VW buses and campers

[JLT]

Well, it's out.

I was planning on a release date of November 12 (the 67th anniversary of the debut of the VW Bus), but things have moved a little faster than expected, so here we are.

The link to the Amazon store is at:

It should be available to your local bookstores in a month or so. It's ISBN-13: 978-0979063510

There are a few people in it that folks might recognize, notably Splitpile, VWHoward, Static, PJalau, and our own beloved Amskeptic. Colin has a page and a half there, buried in the verbiage. And there's a whole chapter on Buses By the Bridge, compiled from three of my seven visits to that event.

For those in the Sacramento area, there'll be a book signing on November 12 at the Avid Reader on Broadway, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Feel free to come down and say hello!

I'm up for going to this event. Anyone in the Bay Area wanting to attend, perhaps we could get a caravan going to show support?

Just finished.
No wine was spilled during the reading of this epic work of literature.
There might be a movie or two in there.
VW peeps are the best.

Excellent read.

Thank you

Totally enjoyed the signing, purchase, and passage readings.
Now. I'm thinking there has gotta be another book somewherez in there chock full of stories that couldn't be included in the first book? Huh? Huh?
You're a good man, Mr. LaTorre.

The book is quite good! It's rare that someone who has had that many experiences (and that many buses) writes it down in a book.

Do yourself a favor and get a copy.
