Hi Zartoon,
If you do a google search on the full title of the book "M38 Reference Guide" you get hits for sources like these:

Thank you.
The first link says out of stock but a new edition is coming soon.
I posted because I wanted to see if there is a new edition coming and if so what the source is.
(I also googled and got those links but wasn’t sure if there is an official source to get the book from Ryan)

No. Sales only thru vendors. I am waiting for a reply from Ryan on your question about the possibility of a new edition coming out.

Hey,

I was working on an updated book before COVID, but since then work has been busier than ever.

I need to start working on it again and I need to slow down a bit and spend some time with my kids before they graduate high school.

Thank you for the reply Wes and Ryan.
I will get this edition and sign me up for the new edition when it comes out too.
Books like these are gems. In perpetuity. Thank you for taking the time to put it together.

And I know what you mean about kids. We all need to slow down and live a bit.

Hey,

I updated some with the factory blue prints reference the white and chrome yellow (for USAF) for the hood number stenciling, the jeep contract hood numbers and there was a reference to jeeps produced with winches from the factory (listed hood numbers and contract number).

Also there was a reference to USAF jeep hood numbers USAF-N____

I have been waiting for Kieth to get the BOM information on the different factory colors for Air Force, etc. but I think he is just too busy.

So I went ahead and put out an updated book with a new cover photo.
