New Corvair Book Coming - Update from the Author

Post by bbodie52 »

Many Corvair enthusiasts will remember this book. I have had a copy since about 1970...

How to Hotrod Corvair Engines by Bill Fisher (1971)

Well, a new, updated edition has been in the works for some time, co-authored by the original author, Bill Fisher, and Seth Emerson

:dontknow: When I started tracking this projected publication, it was supposed to be released last summer, and then slipped to December 2012. :tongue: Since it still appeared to be unavailable in December, I sent the following email to Seth Emerson:

Performance Corvairs : How to Hotrod the Corvair Engine and Chassis (Paperback)
by Seth Emerson and Bill Fisher

Just curious if you can provide an update for this joint effort between you and Bill Fisher. I have had the original Bill Fisher book since I was a teenager in the early 1970s, and look forward to buying this new publication, but it seems to be subject to delay after delay! I hope you can get it published and released soon! Would love to see it in Amazon.com's Kindle eBook format too!

I just received a response from Seth Emerson, so I wanted to pass this information on to Corvair Forum members...

Brad - I hope to get the book out by March/April. - Seth
As you can see by both email message times (3:11 AM and 2:17 AM), neither of us seem to get much sleep at night! ::-): :whoa:

I learned a lot from the original Bill Fisher book, and I hope the new edition turns out well. Looking forward to ordering a copy in the Spring! :fingerscrossed:
