Country:  | My first book!
After edits back and forth and some great guidance and assistance from the subjects, I present my first book. " That Little Yellow Airplane" is out now and available via an on-demand publisher. It's a memory/photo book with some text about Rob Harrison's Zlin-50LX "Tumbling Bear".
The publisher page for the book is below: That Little Yellow Airplane | By Eric Van Gilder | Category: Sports & Adventure | Blurb
Here are shots of the front and back covers:

Country: | Believe it or not, I have already been asked that a couple of times, Charles. I haven't figured out how I'm going to go about that yet since I am using on-demand publishing. I will keep you posted though.
