    How good of a book is the Daytona book written by Gerald Roush? I have located a copy for $350, but want to make sure the book is worth the money prior to purchase. Unfortunately, I have never seen a copy of this book.

    I have, and love the book, paid nowhere close to $350 though. For that money it better be new. I think I paid $85 on e-bay for a copy in good condition.

    since the book is out of print it commands a hgi price.

    It definitely is an authoritative work on the model. I have a copy and I find it well worth owning.

    If you look on ebay they pop up. One sold for $127 last week. Don't spend more than you need to.

    Thanks for the info. I have tried for an entire year to purchase this book on Ebay. Either there is no listing for the book or the price is above $200.00 USD. I will keep trying on Ebay since other have been successful in purchaseing a copy for about $100.

    I bought a copy directly from Gerald less than a year ago..... he signed it for me as well. It was considerably less than $350.

    Its a great book, I really enjoyed it.

    The book is quite good. If you are signed to Ebay you can pick one up for about $150.00

    Has anyone (I'm sure they have) considered a Daytona list of names and phone numbers to share information.

    Does the book cover the race cars or just the street cars? I would like to get one also if it covers the race history
