Swap FX Manual for "Caravanning in Australia" Book

[aussieusedcaravans]

Hello everyone.....I've been quiet for a while.

Anyhow, I have a Holden Workshop Manual covering FX through to HR models which is in almost mint condition. It has been sitting in my father's cupboard for around 30 years! It was never used and I now wish to swap it for a 70's book "Caravanning in Australia".

I remember seeing one for sale on eBay a few years ago and wish I had placed a bid then.

A few photos of the manual are as follows:







Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could provide me with some info on how many editions of the book were published.

Cheers

Hey Jason....that was really quick ;D

Thanks for the offer. I was really looking for a late 70's copy (if they were still being published then). Maybe someone here could shed some light on how long this book was in publication.

In any event, if a later version doesn't surface within the next week or so, I'll definitely buy your copy. Can you please hold it for me for the moment?

Thanks again

Cameron

Hi Cameron,that book was published by the editor of "Caravan World "magazine in 1974 and only had 1 printing unfortunatley.They did another one in 1989 which was soft cover and a limited print run.
Hope this is of some help to you.

Thanks for the info compact & hughdeani.

I did some research on the author which resulted in me picking up a copy of the book for $12 plus $6 postage from here:
www.antiqbook.com/boox/jones/014423.shtml

If other people are also looking for this book, I've managed to track down a few more copies, strangely enough, from Amazon US:

www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0207128995?ie=UTF8&coliid=&ref_=olp_tab_used&me=&qid=1274741851&qid=1274741851&sr=1-1&sr=1-1&seller=&colid=&condition=used

Looks like I'll now be chasing the 1989 publication ;D

Thanks for your help guys.

Cheers....Cameron
