I've got a copy of this book written by Dave Long & Phil Mathews c1993. Is it collectable/ valuble? (might need the funds to replace the smashed glass in the karman)

Why is it so special. Volkswagen in Australia the forgotten story is a similar book. This is a question not a critisism.

Phil and Dave's book was the first and done a very low budget. B4 the 'VW in Aust.' book was released there was precious little info about this country's VW history to be found in one volume....I would say the first publication of any topic will always fetch a good price, purely from a collectors perspective...Have a look at the prices the Cal-Look HotVW's issue is going for now!

OK that explains part of it. Are they really that rare?
