The Doble Book

<HTML>To All,
During a meeting last Saturday, my publisher, Phil Wood informed me that he intends to see the Doble book out and available in June or July of 2004.
It will be the big two volume set, slipcased, and will include everything that I have obtained and archived during the past forty five years.
It will contain loads of new material about the cars and the family that has never been known before. The stock fraud trials, the factual ending of the company, the bus projects, the McCulloch project, etc..
William Besler has a large chapter of his own in the book and it covers his work after his purchase of the Doble factory, patents and assets.
Do not contact me about obtaining the book; but e-mail Phil and ask that your name be put on the "To be notified" list. kathy@tenspeed.com

<HTML>Jim,
Great news! I had been hoping that it would have been out for this Xmas but understand you have come up with a whole new bunch of archives that make it even better. Hopefully Phil will get it out on scheduled time. Thanks for such a huge effort on your part.

Thanks Jim!

<HTML>I would like to get the plans to the Doble steam car engine if it isn't a military secret. Will it be in the book?</HTML>

<HTML>Hi:

I just ran across this forum. Who is this Phil, and how do I e-mail him to reserve a book?
