I was wondering if any knows of any books by or about that greatest of auto racing cartoonist, Russell Brockbank?
My good old friend Keir gave me a book for my birthday a while back which I beleive he got from Ian Young from down under way.
I have been unable to locate any additional books.

Eoin Young, that is. No Brockbank books, but I's love to get in touch with Eoin Young regarding this story I've got in the works on the 65 AGP. Anyone got a contact?

I don't believe that Eoin is in the used
book trader business any longer, but if you pick up Motorsport or even Autosport. There are some motor book traders that still deal in the old tomes.
As for Eoin himself, I lost touch with him a few years ago, but I do have some other Down-Under contacts who can help with the various Tasman races et al.

I don't need anything about Tasman races - I need Eoin for close up stuff on Mayer, Hill and McLaren in two specific races.
