Guess what I was doing today?? Getting it published. Honestly. I delivered the pics and hard copy so the design is under way, pictures are sorted, although there may be a few last minute changes and all the scans will be done over the next few weeks. Currently runnning at 89,500 words (plus an exact copy of the AC chassis register) and 278 photos. We have yet to establish the number of pages - circa 300 - and will be around 12 inches square, allowing for final paper trim. Its finally under way!! But in the nature of publishing, dont hold your breath - I will keep y'all informed and post pics of the cover etc. Then you will have to queue up and buy it in your thousands, as it will be the first book from 'my' new publishing business.........(assuming that our lawyers documents are all in order, the company will be incorporated in the next week or two.) So in about ten years I will be obscenely wealthy and retire and create a Cobra collection. No problem.

However, I still await an interesting announcement that will be worth having in the book and that should happen fairly soon, so the book will be an on-going work until the 11th hour. Unless everyone stops building Cobras tomorrow (thats not the news by the way). I just realised that I started the process of creating this book back in 1998 - arrghh.
