I'm guessing you must've tried Amazon? From their website it would seem that Amazon can get it, but there is a 4 to 6 week lead time.

The Very Best of Russell Bulgin 1959-2002
Publisher: MPA Fingal
ISBN: 0954360400

I ordered mine direct from a phone number that was listed in EVO. Maybe worth giving EVO a ring and see if that service is still running? It was a couple of years ago I think that bought my copy...

It's a great read - hope you find a copy!

From the article that Ted wrote about the release of the book in 2002 :-

"the book can also be purchased via the post for a total cost of £19.95. For mail order, the credit card hotline number is: 01892 838928"

Again, I'm guessing you may have tried this.

Just to mention that the book is the best of all of his writings and I dont remember it containing any of his articles from Evo

I see there’s an old thread on here about this excellent book - not sure if the price is right but there are some easily googled pages suggesting it’s value is $450.

Wow! Time to sell mine and pay off my mortgage!! I'd love to know what Russell would have made of this 'inflation'!

I bought mine as soon as it appeared after his death . I re-read it often too, as he is the best of all motoring journalists, and makes most others (ancient and modern ) look like amateurs . The book is an anthology of pieces from CCC, CAR , Evo , Motor , Daily Telegraph , Autocar and others .

Like RB the book is very stylishly produced . I saw the unmistakably lofty frame of RB once at a GT race at Donington in the 90s and I do wish I'd thanked him for entertaining me so much .

If you like RB I would hugely recommend 'Thus Spake David E', the anthology of David E Davis' work. He was , of course the legendary US writer (Car and Driver, Road and Track etc ) who hugely influenced many CAR writers in its glory days , now very long since past . DED was viciously funny , erudite and was almost poetic on occasion.

I have done reviews of both (and other car titles) on speedreaders.info , a US website which has a huge range of car related book reviews . Not a commercial plug BTW as we all write for nowt ... . .

If you enjoy good automotive writers check out Peter Egan. His "best of" stuff is available on Amazon at about £20. Well worth a read,

I guess Amazon is the best source of buying a book, have you tried it already?
