There is something with this book that does not fill me with confidence. Am I missing something....?

I would not be confident either reading a 928 buyers guide with a 968 on the cover

Who's going to be the first to break it to our Marque Expert: David Hemmings?

My copy has a GTS on the cover.

I own a copy of that book, and it has a picture of a 928 on the cover. I just took a picture of it.

I think the picture above was doctored by Amazon.

No, he worked for the city of bell, CA, where he and many others were fingered in the wholesale theft of 10s of thousands of dollars of tax payer funds.

But he got off in court. And as we know, everyone who gets a not-guilty in court is perfectly innocent.

I found this image with the advertisement for the book on Ebay Australia. The book has been advertised many times, always with this photo.

I have the book too and I had to double check. Would have kicked myself for missing it, but I have a GTS on my cover, too.

The same book has been advertised on trademe in New Zealand for some time now.

I have managed NOT to point out the incongruity to the seller. Resistance is fading however....
