you know how very few people have a copy of the first year of Hot Rod magazine, but, because it pretty thoroughly documented the earliest hot rodders, a lot of people would like one? I found a simple cheap way to get a copy... they made a book of them

I've never seen or heard of this before... but it's the complete set, including covers, advertising, etc 

I bought this at the LA Roadster Show swap meet a couple weeks ago. 

I figured a few of you might want to know, so you too can read the first dozen issues. I've only ever read the reprint of the 1st issue, and only found the late 1949 through to now, issues to get a collection of my own to blog from 

This book can be bought on ABE books, or Ebay, or Amazon for between 30 and 50 dollars
