Never read a Guy Fay book that I didn't like... and re-read at least twice!

Same goes for Ken Updike, while we're at it!

Me too ... they are good books. Between them, an Operators and Part manual and you guys on the forum anything can be figured out.

Guy's books: chocked full of great information and are just plain fascinating reading even if you aren't looking for specific information. I consider Guy's books to be a "must" for all "red" people.

Guy puts a tremendous amount of research and detail in the books... and it's not just rehashed from other sources, he goes to THE source. I know firsthand how hard all that is. Unfortunately, it's more difficult than ever to get books published and make a living at it. Publishers are going more for the "quik-n-dirty" books they can get done cheap (to keep the profit margin up) rather than pay a true expert what he's worth to do a complete, detailed and accurate presentation of the facts. Fay is a Master in his genre. I am in awe of his "Hundred Series" book. Writing to publishers in favor of the better writers/tractor experts and against the "fluff" (bright color but little substance), plus always buying the good "meat and taters" books and not the poor "wish sandwich" kinda books will help keep the good authors doing what we like best. Most of you cannot imagine the amount of work that goes into a book. You would also be surprised at how little publishers will pay for that work. Those like Guy that do a good job at it should be adequately paid.
