\"new\" edition of Spain\'s book
I bought the "new" edition of Ronnie Spain's book (Complete Race History etc etc) and read through it...am I missing something or is this the same as the old edition? While I have not compared every page, the ones I have looked at are identical. Only the cover is new.
There are a number of factual errors or omissions, most notably to me that car #1054 is owned by Fran Kress and is alive and well in the Midwest, isn't it?
I realize that these cars trade around and that it is impossible to keep up with all their changes of ownership, but if you;re writing the complete history.....well, it ought to be closer to complete, or at least more up-to-date. Be advised that if you have the Osprey edition you have the new one as well, essentially- minus the new cover.
On the bright side, when my car is done, I will have one copy to carry in the car, one for the house. Now that's luxury.
