I am very please to announce that my gas pump book has been sent to the publisher. The book will be almost 350 pages, have over 1500 pictures (about 85% in color), over 1350 gas pumps illustrated and about 150 other collectable items mostly found on the island (no tireflators). Over 95% of the pictures are from original pump company literature. The history of over 100 gas pump companies took over 18 pages in my computer alone.
All the equipment has the following: Model number; year introduced; original price; brief description; and present value (all if known).
All valuing was done by a committee of five collectors plus myself.
The book is due out around May 1, 2002 and the price has been set approximated at around $34.95.
This will be the largest book ever printed for the petroliana hobby and will be the most inexpensive at around $.10 per page.
My website will soon be set up with a complete description, sample cover and pages and a order form. Please send me your email address and I will notify you when everything is on the website.
