ERRETT LOBBAN CORD LAST BOOK WITH CASE #2350 PRODUCED BY AUTOMOBILE QUARTERLY:
$5750.00
WHEN THE CONCEPT FOR THIS BOOK WAS FIRST PROPOSED TO READERS OF AUTOMOBILE QUARTERLY THERE WAS A PRODUCTION RUN PLANNED OF 4000 BOOKS. IT WAS THE LATE 70'S AND AT THE ORIGINAL IN ADVANCE PRICE OF $495.00 WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILE BOOK OF IT'S TIME BY FAR. HAVING BEEN A LONG TIME SUBSCRIBER THEY AGREED TO SELL ME NUMBER 4000 OF 4000. THE REST IS HISTORY AND THEY NEVER RECEIVED ORDERS FOR ANYWHERE NEAR 4000. AS TIME WENT ON THEY OPTIMISTICALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD SELL 2500 BOOKS WITH CASES. THAT PROVED OVERLY OPTIMISTIC AND FURTHERS REDUCED THEIR SALES GOAL TO 2350, WHICH COINCIDENTALLY EQUALED THE NUMBER OF MATCHING LEATHER BOUND CASES THEY ORDERED. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAD BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD NEVER REACH THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF 4000 AND THEY DECIDED TO PULL THE PLUG ON THE PROJECT AT 2350 COMPLETED SETS BOOK AND CASE WRAPPED IN BEAUTIFUL MATCHING BROWN LEATHER.
