For months i have been trying to get a copy of this book, all the stockists in my area advise it is out of stock or print. Does anyone know of anywhere i can get a copy or has a copy they can lend me ( i will return once i read it!!!)
Oh and if you have read it is it good?.

have you tried publishing 101??? they have a website, i just dont know what it is but they are the ones that make the book. its a good read, but the pics are better (all things are relative). if i had my own copy id lend it to you but it was my friends that i looked at.

You can order one through the V8 supercar web site. Well you use to be able to.

Hi Kate, have you looked on the websites for major book retailers, like A&R and Dymocks?
Dymocks Online haven’t got it (just had a look then), but there’s a match on the A&R site. For some reason I can’t copy and paste the URL, but all you have to do is type in “V8 Supercars” in the search bar and it should be one of the first matches. A&R site: http://www.angusrobertson.com.au/b2c/init.do
I know there isn’t any image and it doesn’t list which stores currently have copies (and that it’ll usually ship in 18 days), but if you’re really struggling then maybe trying some other online stores might help.
I got my copy from A&R in Hobart last November, so it sounds like I was lucky to get the copy when I did. Tasmania doesn’t have many big name bookshops, so there might be some other major retailers over there on the mainland that might have it.

Also try PitStop bookshop in Perth.

My sister and i went to 5 shopping centres, looking for this book and when we finally found one, it was the last one. There is a problem with the supplier which is why they are so scarce - good luck.

Latest News and Releases
With the p.101 team bunkered down and fine tuning the first edition of 8IGHT, we thought it might be a good time to let you know what is going on. The good news for many of you reading this email is that we are reprinting V8 Supercars: The First Decade, with books due in June.
The First Decade was a sell-out last year, and we have had a constant stream of people looking for the book. The best way to secure your copy is to go to our website and lock it away now with a pre-purchase and we’ll shoot it to you once they arrive – otherwise run into any leading book seller and see if they’ll put one aside for you – if they give you a dumb look assure them the reprint is underway and they need to talk to our distributor soon.

Kate we have the book but currently reading it at the moment, I will let you know once we are done, if you have found one or not.
