I ordered the Ross Bentley book Speed Secrets - Winning Autocross Techniques from soloperformance.com a couple of weeks ago, but they just informed me that it is out of print and they are having trouble getting it. A quick Google and Amazon search shows only a few retailers with poor ratings that say they have it and a couple of others that have it but the price is suspiciously high. Perhaps this is because it is out of print? Anyone have any recommendations on where I can get it at a reasonable price? On the same subject, any recommendations for other books on the subject?

I bought the kindle version a couple weeks ago for around $10. Amazon is still showing that as available, but a much higher price for print versions.

Dan, Welcome to the forums. I am content to borrow the book from James for now. I am still a fan of turning pages, but I may break down and splurge on the $10 version somewhere down the road.

Thanks for the welcome Jordan. Borrowing isn't a bad idea. Its a very quick read but good information.
