I ordered from King. Ended up being about $15 USD cheaper than the Keychain option (cheapest option from the author's website).

I like the look of this book but it's a lot of money. How is it for detail, grammer, well written?

You can buy the book itself for 55 euro from the website (not too bad). It was the 55 euro shipping that ended the checkout process for me.

It's translated from French, which is the author's first language. So, the grammar has a few quirks.

I should add that the content is a broad R picture since Europe received way more R models compared to us. I both enjoyed that as well as cringed at our lack of those, haha.

He's working on his next chapter, which will include some North America specific stuff, including Expo.

If there is a strong interest from enough people, I can ask for a Type R Club price break. Let me know...

Yea I meant to say that the shipping added on made it more expensive than from King (free shipping), and considering exchange rates. So King was $15 cheaper all things considered.

Thanks, and yes interested in a club price although that might be a big ask. I'm actually in NZ but the king checkout price seemed to include shipping here weirdly

I have ordered a lot of stuff internationally. Japan, Europe, Greece, Australia , France . It's never been cheap. Some of the purchases were worked via weight and I paid exactly what their postal service quoted . This one perplexes me tho. I couldn't ship a bolt for a $1.00 to the lower 48 yet China can ship a brand new Manufacured bolt to the United States. Seems like the postal off is getting worked on that end.
