Good day Listers.
The new book about Improving your TR250, TR5 or TR6 is slated to be released
sometime this spring. I have included the table of contents for this new book
so that you could get an idea of what it will cover.
Hundreds of you ordered your copy of the TR250/5/6 Restoration book through
6-PACK and have realized how complete and well written Roger Williams book
really is.
6-PACK plans to promote his new book and will create a waiting list for those
who are interested. By being placed on a waiting list, there is no obligation
or deposit needed. For those interested, simply send an e-mail with your
request and the number of copies you would like to websixpack@6-pack.org
Please include the following:
Name
Mailing address
City
State
Zip
Phone
# of copies
I will notify you as soon as I can to confirm pricing, shipping cost and a ship
date. 6-PACK members will receive a discount just like we did with the
Restoration book.
Thanks,
