Re: More interesting AMC books found online...2nd try. Oops!

Jerry;

That book (Century) is closer to a booklet than a book I'd say. It's just 
got paper covers, so so quality, but has some interesting info. It is a kind 
of 'it happened today in AMC history' snippet book. But don't pay $15 for 
it! You can get it directly from the author himself for $4, at 
www.theoilspoteh.ca under 'books'. His other books are very good; Rambler 
Canada, Rescued and Restored (has quite a few AMCs covered), and the story 
of Nash Trucks are all great.
