I'm amazed that there is a new volume of this book as I was told somewhere along the line that they had destroyed the plates from the original printing. I guess that doesn't prevent a whole new edition from being done. Can't wait to see it.

I also heard that the original plates were accidentally destroyed. My guess is that when the publisher noticed that the originals are selling for $1,000, they decided that it's worth the trouble of reissuing the book.

By the way, the Pete Lyons GT40 book that Carroll Smith was helping him on is available for pre-order once again on Amazon.com. Publication date is now listed as something like December.

Amazon.com says December2006. I didn't know about the book, but I've now added it to my wish list.
