ISBN nr of Garwoods "Car of the century" wanted

Dec 09, 2003 7 Replies

Hello,



I would like to order the books ...



Volkswagen Beetle, The Car of the Century, Volume One, 1930-1960, by J.T. Garwood; J.T. Garwood, Publisher. Volkswagen Beetle, The Car of the Century, Volume Two, 1961-1980, by J.T. Garwood; J.T. Garwood, Publisher.



.... but the bookshop needs the ISBN number and I can't find it anywhere. Can somebody check the ISBN number of his copy and post it here ?



Thanks and greetings, Dave

The book (my Vol II) doesn't appear to have an ISBN. If you don't have any success, have eBay notify you when anything with "car of the century" is listed.

At one time, Rocky Mountain Motorworks had them.

Yes, it's in the catalog, but I think someone posted recently that they are not in stock. I've hunted around but didn't find a source new.

Hiya Dave,

There is no ISBN number for either volume. Garwood did the whole thing himself (with the assistance of friends and relatives). Had his daughter do the editing and took it to a local printer. Apparently he handled the distribution also. Although it is copyrighted it was never submitted for an ISBN. Others have mentioned that RMM did (at least at one time) have this book in stock. I have tried to track down Garwood or his heirs to check availability. No luck going that route. RMM is also not forthcoming on their source for the book. It looks as if (unless somebody out there really wants to pursue this) it's a "dead" issue.

Scott: Do you have an email address for J.T.Garwood's daughter - You cite her as having posted a message about the Garwood Books, Volume One and Two. I am anxious to contact her about obtaining a copy of the CD mentioned in her book. Thanks, Dr Joe Goeppner
