I have a book called `Holden Commodore Australia 1978` it is a red hard cover book and measures 30cm x 44cm and has 24 pages of specs and high gloss photos and engineering drawings of L SL and SLE models . In the opening lines it states as being a limited edition book , on the last page at the bottom reads `General Motor`s-Holdens Limited. issued November, 1978 copyright A1833.`
Can someone give me any info on the book reguarding if this was an employee book etc....
