Question form a UK Poster -
Where do I get joe Leoni's book?
Gerard,

Joe is in a retirement home now and I do not know if his GREAT Books are being handled by the Family

However, I`m sure that someone on here will let us know the current situation

Go to Blocks books. Bill now sells Joe's books.

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

I briefly talked to Bill Block at the LA Lit Meet. I was selling diagrams and someone asked about Joe's books - I referred him to Bill Block.
I later followed up with Bill and he implied that he might not have them as they are very slow sellers.
Better follow up directly with Bill.
PS - They show up for sale used on occasion - I have a set for my C but don't use it very often even though they are very well done and a great reference, but I might not be your typical electrical troubleshooter as I have made a bit of a study of 356 electrical systems.

Greg misunderstood me. I don't take Joe Leoni's books or relays to swap meets because they don't sell well there. But I sell a very respectful number via the website.

Only curent problem I Joe's producing enough to stay up with demand.
