I dont know if anyone is interested or not but I have been able to aquire an original 29 parts book ( the previous owner had purchased it 30 years ago ) and I have already run off one copy of it so far and can do more. It does have alot of different info than the 29-32 book which again makes that one useless to anyone that wants to get it right and it also has ALOT more diagrams that are very usefull. Its absurd to consider restoring a car without one and more absurd to have to go to anyone who has a copy and ask wether each and every part for the car you are restoring is correct or not. Anyway I dont care about trying to make any money on it all that I ask is what Kinkos charges me to photocopy all the pages I have scanned and downloaded to disk and a little for my time. I have set the book up using my HP director to resemble the original book exactely.The book is dated Feb. 1930 so as far as I am concerned if you have a 29 or 30 this is all you will need. If interested contact me at jhason2@yahoo.com

The Feb 1930 Book would in fact be the best for a 1929 - Early 1930 Owner. It is always best to have a parts book closest to the year of car you are looking for parts for. For instance the 1929 - 1954 Book would be great for a 54 owner, and only fair for a 1929 owner. This is a great service you are providing.

Thanks for the reply, I have had alot more responses than I figured this quickly, I never until now figured out how much it would cost and now that I have it may be too much for anyone to bother. Kinkos charges me 19 cents per copy because it is doublesided and that is me doing it myslef so 19 times 168 pages equals 31.92, I cant change that, as mentioned I can put it on 78 pd paper ( which is a very light cardboard ) for an addit 6 dollars, that is the amount of a package of that paper and that does not even have enough paper in that package. ( It only has 125 and I need 168 butI have some left over from my own copies ) That paper will not tear easily. And then I ask for an addit 20 for my time to run these off and punch the holes for the binder and my gas again to run this to a shipper so it is definitlely more than even the 29-32 parts book but this book has alot of different pictures than that book and the part # in many cases are more accurate so like I said you wont be running here every time you have a question verifying a part. You have to believe that I had no less than 20 hours scanning each page and then making each page fit the paper so that it all looked like the real deal, I had to be so carefull with book because it is falling apart because of its age and at the time I was still only borrowing the book, it was not until I sent the man that let me borrow the book a copy of his book that he told me I could keep the original. So anyway I am trying to make everyone see where my time has been spent and help everyone to understand why it costs what it does. If anyone is still interested than reply to my e-mail address please like some of you have already done, thanks.

Why don't you just figure out how much you want for each book which would cover your cost and time and post it in the parts for sale form.
