Honored to have just received kind praise of this book by Ford scholar Joseph McBride. I was, perhaps, most nervous about his feedback as he is so incredibly passionate and defensive of Ford. With praise for Scott Eyman (who blurbed) and Joe McBride, both towering Ford experts, I can now rest easy.
