Just imagine how much Lloyd White's MB books are going to go for in the future...

I am glad I had the chance to know Lawrence Nabholtz and Lloyd White. The work Lloyd has put into the volumes is unbelievable, and much appreciated. Lawrence gave his books a lot of thought, how to present the information, was there any interest? Fast forward to 2014. The crazy price of Lawrence's book, all the interest in Lloyd"s books and the volume of traffic on G-503, proves that there is plenty of interest. Isn't this green disease the greatest?

Hi,

I'm new to owning a Military jeep, 1942 GPW, and to this forum.

I just learned about Lawrence's book and like to know about availability. It appears to be very hard to acquire from these posts. Is there talk about printing another edition?
