| Buffalo Road Imports in New York has them for sale. They sell die cast models. If you go to their webb site and enter Allis Chalmers it will show all of the AC models and Books. The Swinford book is the second listing. It is $59.95. Be careful not to get drool on your keyboard when you see all the AC models they sell. |

When they want a high price, contact the seller and make an offer. Online they have no shame- if it were a used bookstore on main street they wouldn't have a $300 dollar price tag, that would enrage the customers. I got my Original Allis-Chalmers book for about 1/4 of the original asking price. |

Ok, I'm bragging now but I can't help myself.
I bought mine from Norm at the Gathering of the Orange
in Westminster MD and he signed it for me. He was
set up under Nan's show tent. They had the
AC fuel cell tractor at that show and as big a collection
of WD's and WD 45's as I think I've ever seen anywhere.
Beautiful show, beautiful day and a beautiful memory.
