There has been a bit of chat on another thread about people copying the Turnbull/Stewart Monaro Story.... this thread is just to see if it would be worthwhile for BEN/Warren to reprint the original....
I spoke to Warren many moons ago about bringing out a second edition but he was not that enthusiastic.... not sure why
So to guage some interest and too see if it would be worthwhile just give a 'YES I would buy one' or 'NO I wouldn't'
Warren maybe put a brown cover on it to not interfere with the collectability of the original edition
just a thought.....
YES from me

I do understand those that want a copy and cant get one, but are you guys aware of the work that went into producing the original? Are you aware exactly how much "corrected" information has come to light as a result of the book bei |

I do understand where you are coming from, and the dillemma you are in. Warren and Ben also have to understand that by not publishing it again they do face increased risk of copyright infringement as people try to get the information, but I fully respect |

It could also be argued that if there wasn't a demand for the book no one would bother selling unauthorised copies.
I have a copy of Dr Terrys book 45 Years of Holden which does have some errors in it, however it is still useful.

Warren has stated many times over the years it is never going to be re-released.
I would imagine there would be a lot of pissed off people who bit the bullet and forked out hundreds of dollars to get a copy because of this and then find out their copy is

I asked Warren about it and he said it will not be reprinted. I refused to pay evilbay prices for it but still wanted one. I haunted second hand book shops to no availl. But I was lucky enough to work with someone who worked with Warren in Mt Isa when he |

Warren or Ben if your reading.. Would you be interested in selling the rights to re-publish the famous book?
