Default a/c strategies book

Hello all, I am trying to purchase a book by Mike Davis "A/C strategies for the '68-'82 corvette". The book is temporarily out of print at this time. Does anyone have a copy that they would be willing to sell to me if have no current need for this book.
If anyone can help me out email me
Thanks in advance dcbechtel@verizon.net

Great book, I'm keeping mine. Also by the same author is "Waterleak and wind noise strategies for the C-3" that is also helpful. Mike's publisher apparently does a reprint from time to time if there is enough interest shown. Good luck with you search.

When it's in print, how much does that book run? Maybe the author should look into offering them as .pdf files for download or on CD...easier than dealing with a pubisher, and likely cheaper.

I'll look for a price when I get home, but it was less than $30.- if memory serves. Got them from Motorbooks International.

I'd be interested in a copy also, only if the other guys get theirs first. Just checked all the vette vendors and no one has it,
