Viper History Book is DONE

[mauricev10]

I'm happy to report that the Viper - 25 Years of Hisssstory book is finally completed. I sent the files off to the printer on Monday. From there, the printing and shipping process takes about 3 months. For those of you who preordered, thanks for your patience. The book took about a year longer than I expected, mainly because I got more material from Team Viper members that I wanted to add to the book. I think you'll find it was worth the wait. Some great behind the scenes stories of why things happened the way they did, a glimpse at things that might have been, and some never-before-published images from Team Viper members as well as my personal collection. Originally, the book was going to be 160 pages, but it ended up at 272 pages. It covers the complete history of Viper from concept to end of Gen V. It's part coffee-table book, part documentation book. The chapters are:

Foreword (By Bob Lutz)
Concept Car
Gen I
Gen II
Gen III
Gen IV
Gen V
Supporting Cast (vendors)
Viper Racing (written by Shawn Romig)
Epilogue

I'm only printing what's ordered, this book is not being sold through traditional book stores or Amazon. If you want a copy and haven't already ordered it, you can still do so at www.buyviperbooks.com. I'll be submitting the print order next week.

Hi Maurice, I tried to order a copy just now, but as I'm in the UK I'm having problems.

"State needs to be specified in correct format"

[mauricev10]

Hmmm. Sometimes their address fields expect something that isn't correct. Did you enter anything in the "State" field? If not, try a US state like CA or something and see if it takes it.

[mauricev10]

Technically, it should accept anything in that field. I'm looking at other foreign orders and they have all kinds of things in that field. If you can't get it to work, let me know what you enter and I can send it to the tech team.

Great work Maurice. Glad it's finally on its way, I'm sure it won't disappoint. Having all the Viper books of the past (some of them yours) this will surely be one of the best.

Thanks a lot Maurice, I entered CA, and the order went through OK.

Can't wait to get it !!!!

[daveg]

He signed the last book that I purchased from him, I could be wrong but I think he may sign all of his book.. Hopefully this statement if wrong doesn't put him a bad spot..

[Simms]

I preordered awhile back. It will be a pleasant surprise when it arrives.

Is it too late to order a copy? I love stuff like this.

[Hathoway]

I hope so....just put in an order to buy one.

How, may I ask? I just went to his website on a lark, and tried to order one, and it keeps telling me that my cart is empty.

I'm not sure how to answer without sounding sarcastic. I clicked the link in the opening post, using duckduckgo browser if that matters, and added to cart and purchased.

Disregard - I just had to change browsers.

Anyone with a copy want to provide a quick review of it before I place the order?

[str5010]

It's the only Viper book written which covers all 5 generations and the layout is fantastic with amazing pictures. Great behind the scenes details as well.

[Bill Pemberton]

Can't wait to get our copies -- thanks Maurice!!

[13COBRA]

I'm late to the party and just ordered today... Woohoo! haha

[sssammm]

[str5010]

You'll have to stalk eBay as I believe all the original distributors sold out long ago.
