Good luck everyone!! They'll be wondering why the sudden rush for this book! :hilarious:

I think I should get a little financial thank you from the author for boosting his sales! LOL.

Here's the page of interest. My apologies for thinking that the names were written on pumps. As you can see, they're just signs on the garage wall! Oh well. It's still cool!

I'm trying to find info on Roger Priddy. I want to contact him and ask about the Eagles reference in this book. I did find out that he resides in London with a wife and 4 kids and has sold millions of kids books. I have to wonder if they all might have Eagles references in them. The author that wrote all the "Arthur" books used to put one of his kids name in a random picture in all of his kids books so I'm wondering if this guy might be doing the same thing. Just a thought. I plan to find out if at all possible.

Troub and Willie, thanks for all the info about the book. Very cool pic, Troub. I went over to Half.com and the best price I saw was $7.32 so you really got a good deal, Willie.

Amazon has them listed under their Used Vendors from $4.83 to $1,153.75?????? WTH?????? hehehe anyway, they have some good deal.. (hmm.. I wonder if that last one is signed by our guys? *G*)

Today, I'm out with a service user, and I decided to have a quick look around a book store. What was right there on the shelf? The Eagles book! I had to buy it - I know a few of you guys wanted to know what it was called. I was almost right - it's Al's Auto Workshop. Anyway, I'll post some pics when I get home! I'm chuffed! I think it was meant to be that I wandered into that shop. :D

Great find Lou! Well done. IMHO I'd have called it 'Irvs Auto Workshop'

Since she didn't add it here, I will. Lou texted me yesterday to tell me that there was also a page with more signs that read "Gilmour", "Wright" and "Mason". For those who don't recognize those names, they are from Pink Floyd. I'm really planning on checking out some more of his books to see if he has rock references in all of them. So cool!

That is cool. What a neat idea! Good job on finding the book Troub, and to you TBF for following up.

Thanks for adding the bit about Pink Floyd, Willie. I've also noticed a couple of other familiar names in there - 'Bonzo' being one of them. Something tells me this guy is a bit of a rock fan! :headbang:

How cool is that?
