I've kicked those cards out last year!
I'm afraid I can't help you. I have $36 in my wallet, which is $1 less than I had in it a month ago because it was a few seconds faster to pay with cash when I left a parking garage last week. However, I also have three credit cards in my wallet and they had plenty of use over the past month.

The book was only listed on the Amazon site yesterday so give google at least a few days to find it. But, if you search for the ISBN within Amazon's site it will lead directly to the book.

It only was published yesterday on the U.S. site, and it shows up there as available, so I'll speculate that it might take a couple of days to be available from overseas Amazon sites. You've waited 94 years for such a shop manual, so be patient for a few more days.

Hi Charles. Just purchased my copy through Amazon Aus. Looking forward to a good Xmas read. While I'm refurbishing the later model '29 Model F, no doubt I'll learn a lot from your experiences. Thanks for putting The Cronicles together.
Cheers.

Ian,

Thanks very much. Although it's specifically about the 1928 500 cc Model C Ariel (which would seem to make it very specialized), most of it will apply to your Model F, and a lot will apply to most old motorcycles.

I certainly hope you find it was a worthwhile purchase. It took writing the book for me to realize just how much work had been involved in rebuilding that Ariel. Basically, if there's anything that needs doing on a Black Ariel in particular, or an old bike in general, I think you'll find it covered in more detail in that book than just about anywhere else.
