Hi All,
Has anyone got a copy of 'Race car vehicle dynamics by William F. Milliken , Douglas L. Milliken that they would be looking to sell?
Thanks in advance.

If you are not able to find a used copy, consider buying directly from our publisher at:
http://books.sae.org/r-146/ I believe they have fairly good rates for international shipping.
I can also sell you a copy of RCVD directly, but the shipping through the US Post Office can be quite expensive. In this case, I offer the SAE
discount of $10 (for regular members), so my price is USD $90. I can sign the book to you if you like. Payment through PayPal is usually easiest.

I have a copy that I will be willing to sell for the right price - only problem - I am in South Africa so will have to check cost of postage.
U2U me if you are interested.

Jesus, that direct publisher link is a far better price than I've seen it elsewhere! Tempted to get my own copy now rather than borrowing it!
Doug - you'd be welcome to stick around and contribute on here!

My Google Alert for the book title found the original post by dimlaz. Thanks to ChrisW I was able to join the site and post.
I'm guessing that you searched Amazon? Amazon is often hell on small, specialty publishers; over the years they have tried all kinds of stunts
including low and high prices:
* Lately the Amazon USA site has multiple pages selling "RCVD: Problems, Answers and Experiments" (the softcover supplement for university
students--yellow corner on the cover)
* It is hard to find the correct web page for the original book (which now has a blue "Best Seller" corner on the cover).
* When I search there I find 3rd party sellers...and some stupid expensive prices.
The SAE online bookstore is tied to their warehouse and RCVD has been in stock continuously for immediate shipment -- for the last 20 years. Same for
our other engineering books.
We link to SAE on our web pages, starting at: http://www.millikenresearch.com/books.html
There is also my father's autobiography which includes a chapter on his MX-1 Camber Car. The publisher's site includes reviews and some
excerpts, http://www.bentleypublishers.com/milliken
Thanks for the invitation, I'll check back from time to time. Mostly I post over on FSAE.com -- the popular Formula SAE and F Student forum.

For anyone interested, the publisher has just reduced the price of "Equations of Motion" to USD $25 (original price for the quality
paperback was $45). Book reviews of the autobiography can be found here,
