c-series don 7,795 #5 Posted December 26, 2020 There’s actually three different editions, all from the same author. I’m fortunate enough to have all of them and even more fortunate to have them signed in person by Cecil Pond and Michael Martino. Huge added bonus is that two of them were on my birthday! What a great present ! Michael certainly did his homework on this, these books really are a wealth of information. 3 7 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AHS 1,411 #17 Posted December 31, 2020 I just finished the book!! I’m amazed at what Cecil Pond did....WOW! The book went year by year thru the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Well, I now have a fascination for RJ’s!! This is a “must read” for all Wheel Horse collectors and Wheel Horse workers! Now to buy every Wheel Horse! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If my memory serves me, she was in the first edition, censored in the second, and again in all her glory in the third edition. I don't know why, but I bought three signed copies of the third edition from Mike Martino at the Wheel Horse show. Two remain untouched, and the other has a bit of wear and tear between pages 102 and 104. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
