Just to bring this back up , a new printing is out and now being offered again , check the post in Classified section for all info on ordering . I got mine at Hutch show and it's well worth the price.

Yesterday the book arrived here in the Netherlands. We got #115.
It's a fantastic book. Dean did a great job to make this book. Lot's of nice (old) pictures and add''s. For me it's a pleassure that I meet Dean last year on the Allis-Chalmers show here in Holland.

Part of the way through the book , just wish some of the pictures of the adds were larger so one could read the print in the photos , but just the information in it is a great collection of facts . Worth the information if your into AC farm, now just have to have him do one on construction also.

We kept track of every book The Allis Connection sold or took orders for because we run out so Dean would know who had them and where they went. Its up to him to keep track now.

Like tractor serial numbers it would be kinda neat to have a list of book owners. With 325 copies it would be as interesting to read as the book.

Dean, The only complaint we had on the book was the book causes sleepless nights because they couldn't stop reading it and go to sleep!

Two thumbs up on your book, Dean. It's definately a must have reference piece for the AC aficionado.
It was also good to chat with you and Phyllis a bit yesterday. Glad to hear you are both doing well.

60 to the 70 is for the shipping and handling charge .. Sales tax and postage , he said.
Picked a copy up at Hutch but have not had a chance to do much exploring so far within the pages. Looked at it on the table and talked to few form members who were waiting to buy it. Talked to Dean for a few minutes but seemed he was a popular guy at the tent.
Spent a couple hours reading and looking , lot of good information and lot more for me to learn and all contained in this great work .
