How do I get one? And why does the Slovak price appear to be higher than the Czech? VAT or something?

You can order directly from publisher at ... obchod@grada.cz , or send me an e-mail.
And why does the Slovak price appear to be higher than the Czech?....
I don´t know why so much, normally 100SK = 80CZK
Yeah, I didn't see this in sunny Prague...
The book is fresh new, they started distribution to bookshops this week Monday afternoon.

My hat's off to you - I definitely want to order one as well! Morten Alstrup and I have been talking for years about doing something similar about Danish single seaters, but even with so few Danish cars and so relatively many Czech cars, you've simply taken the bull by the horns and done it, while we've just been talking about it. Well done! It appears to be a labour of love - how long has it taken, and who's done the very nice illustrations shown in the preview?

Hi Anders,
yes, I love Skoda factory F3 cars from my childhood (my father with my uncle developped engines for them, I personally knew drivers Fousek and Bobek), later I spread my interess to all single seaters. Maybe six years ago I started more intensively to search pictures, results, visited old drivers, their mechanics... and the last chapter - writing a book - had duration almost two years.
Book contains pictures and cut-off drawings mainly from two well known Czech artists - Václav Král and Jirí Rameš (shown in preview).

did you order the book via the publisher ? I mailed Michal in Feb, but he is probably very busy.
