I think that is about par for those books. I don't own one though.

I was interested in this book as well one of the members said it was quite informative. The 35.00 seems a little high for me living in canada it was 20.00 more I beleive for shipping so I decided know for now I would rather buy more parts etc. Babe Bee .049

I bought mine at the same price on ebay 2 years ago. The information on COX engine types and parts I was interested in though is also available here and there on the net for free. A couple links below:

http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/cox_frameset.htm

If you are a gourmet and want all nitty-gritty details like serial numbers, years of production, various part combinations, go buy it.

I printed the cox wikepedia off the computer it was 26 pages I beleive and went to dollar store and got a nice cover to put it in. Its nice to have the history different engines and cox plant how it evolved! Babe Bee .049

That's Warren Leadbetter's wiki. He's one of our Aussie members here and at RCGroups. I think he goes by Warrenlead on CEF.

I purchased the book about eight months ago. If you are a collector of Cox engines, it is money well spent. If you are just buying and refurbishing engines, you will enjoy this handbook too. It is pricey at $35, however, I use it all the time, and it has really enhanced my understanding of the engines I own (and would like to own). I will go out on a limb here and say if you are a member of this forum, you will really enjoy this handbook and be glad you purchased it. Just my two cents. Andy

Me too. The book may be a bit on the high side, but I've continued to enjoy it, and have certainly spent more money on things that didn't deliver the enjoyment of this little volume.

I also printed out Warren's Wikipedia Page, and keep it tucked inside the book...and so, have a ton of info in one quick grab.

Comes down to personal preference, but I feel like it was money well-spent on my part.

Been mulling over buying this book for a few years, and
I've never seen it for any price other than $35.Got a
birthday coming next week(ugh), and my wife will no
doubt ask "what do you want?". I could never justify
buying it outright for myself, sooooo....

edit: Now I don't see it listed antwhere. Go figure. Sad
