Forgive the reposting of this information. It appears that most versions
of this were posted without price information. The cost of the book to
anyone ordering through VTR is $25.00, U.S. funds (check or money order). 
Again, that is the same price as a direct purchase but without the hassle
of converting funds, the risk of sending cash through the mails, etc. And
VTR earns a commission on each book, to be used for future book and/or
regalia projects.

============================================================

Those of you with e-mail and World Wide Web access may have seen some of
John Macartney's postings to the Triumphs e-mail list or checked out his
Web site. Others may have read some of his stories of "Life at Triumph"
that have been reprinted in several Chapter newsletters. 

John had quite a career with Triumph and lately has come
almost full-circle with a new position at the British Motor
Industry Heritage Trust in Gaydon. Recently he has also taken on
some editorial responsibilities with _Triumph Over Triumph_
magazine and has assumed the editorship of _Six Appeal_, the
magazine of the Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register. John's father,
Charles, also had a long and distinguished career with the Standard
Motor Company.

John is about to go to press with a private printing of _In
the Shadow of My Father_, a privately published recounting of his
father's career and a revised and expanded collection of his "Life
at Triumph" stories as well. This book will be offered primarily
through John's World Wide Web site and through Triumph Clubs around
the world, _only_ to October 1998.

Further information on the book appears elsewhere in this
magazine. VTR members are welcome to order the book directly from
John. However, John has appointed VTR as an official "agent" for
ordering. While the cost is the same regardless, ordering through
VTR will earn us commission on each book. These commissions will be
used for further book and regalia projects for VTR.

To order a book through VTR, please make your check or money order for
$25.00 (U.S. funds) payable to _Vintage Triumph Register_ and put the
words "Macartney book" on the memo line. Mail your check -- along with
your name and mailing address, fax and/or e-mail if you have it, and
whether or not you would like the book autographed -- to Macartney Book,
c/o The Vintage Triumph Register, 15218 W.  Warren Ave., Dearborn, MI
48126. [b]Orders must be received by September 30, 1998.[/b] Books will be
mailed directly to you from the publisher, and they should arrive in time
for the "holidays"! 

More information about John's book is available online at
