Mine's the 1st edition. Needless to say, it pretty much has come apart...

That yellow Z looks great on the back cover!

Jerry@CHP · « **Reply #5 on:** February 23, 2008, 02:14:59 PM »

Yeah, but that green car on the back cover looks like a real mutt!

What I like about the 4th edition is: 1) All photos are sharper, and some are even larger 2) New photos in the color photo gallery, I like the car owned by Gary Sommers, he drives it like he stole it!

3) font is easier on the eyes to read 4) New information on the work order numbers scheduling codes 5) ZL-1 story has been added, there is still quite a few of them in the unknown status, you just never know where one could be hidding at. Just a few of the changes I have noticed so far.

I have Jerrys first 3 books and am looking forward to buying the 4TH edition book. With these books you really do not require any others out there.

Bjv69ss · « **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2008, 10:02:47 PM »

I red it quick but the web site says the books are ready for may 2007. Reading the posts here sounds like they are ready now?

I'm such a rookie, I thought my 2nd edition was the latest. I'm going to place my order.

69 Z11 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:05:18 AM »

Any way to order by credit card?

westonz28 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:37:48 PM »

I hope Jerry is signing the one's for CRG and Camaro tech members?

Brandan · « **Reply #12 on:** February 25, 2008, 08:12:52 PM »

It is funny that you said that. I just sent him my check yesterday and asked him the same thing.

cgantner · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2008, 08:50:39 PM »

Have the 4th editions been released for sale through Rick's? I have had one on back order there for a few weeks and haven't been able to get any word on its availablilty through their customer service.

Bjv69ss · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:31:57 PM »

I don't know any more about it. I'm getting mine from Jerry directly. Amazon.com probably has them the last time I looked there they were out of stock

Jerry@CHP · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2008, 02:50:54 AM »

Guys,

Getting them out as qucik as I can. They are flying out of here...........singles and vendor orders too. Rick's ordered 50 and sold them out in two days. They just ordered 50 more today. Shipped several hundred to other vendors last week too.

Brandan, I did sign your book and mailed it today. Will try to sign all that I get on the single orders.

I do appreciate all of your support.

Thanks guys,

Jerry

Brandan · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:41:25 PM »

Jerry, thanks for taking the time to sign the book. What a treat!

Now I'll have to order another one so I don't get this one all greasy.

Hey Jerry, what's the additional postage required for Australia? (USPS/Air please)
..and can I PayPal you?

cgantner · « **Reply #27 on:** March 02, 2008, 06:01:15 PM »

I still haven't received mine from Rick's, even though I paid for it (on backorder) a few weeks ago. Maybe they take care of new money before old money. No luck getting a response from customer service, either. Maybe I will salute the greasy hands theory, order directly from Jerry, and end up with two.

I always recommend ordering thing like this directly from smaller guys like Jerry. Takes out the middleman, so more money goes directly to Jerry.

Bjv69ss · « **Reply #29 on:** March 02, 2008, 09:34:59 PM »

The shipping from Rick's will probably cost the price of the book

69 Z11 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 06, 2008, 09:21:13 PM »

OK Jerry, I am mailing mine right after I hit the return key! Hope you have a minute to sign it as well.

Thanks,
Jerry S.

My wife order the book for me pre Christmas as a Christmas gift. It was not available at the time so she called Jerry's shop and asked them about. He told her to send in a check for the book and once he got them he would send them out on a first come first serve bases. Got mine last week! Love it ... and the car on the cover ... Looks Just like mine ... except I have the iron block and heads!

Great book - Thanks Jerry!

Thank you for going the extra mile and signing my copy. I have found lots of valuable information in your book. Keep up the great work.
Thank you

After reading my new edition for the 69 Z/28, I checked what I believed to be my original radiator (well at least I believed that the tanks were original, as I had it recored probably about 1983). It does not have the original tag that I always thought was needed to verify it as original, but after reading the book I discovered that both right and left tanks were embossed with codes as well. Sure enough both my tanks are embossed as the Jerry's book states, "CB" and "IH" I believe. When it need to be recored again, I just bought a repro instead, but kept the original. Another part I'm glad I didn't throw away!!
