R W Burgess Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Spotter’s guides author Tad Burness dies | Hemmings Blog: Classic and collectible cars and partsHaving scored newsletters for so long now, I was familiar with the Burness reprintings that I read in some AACA region/chapter newsletters. I did not know much about that man, but he was famous in his own right. I may use something of his in our seminar this year.Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer3 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Wayne, in school every month or so we would get a paper pamphlet of paper-back books for sale. I was lucky, never denied a book, of appropriate nature.. I must have gotten this book in the spring of my freshman year(1969), aand have always kept track of it! This book is a compilation of Tads newspaper contributions he must have been syndicated and his renderings and facts appeared in the papers.Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
