Yes. I definitely would pay up to $100 for a book with the first ten issues reproduced.

Does anybody have a picture of the first public showing of the230SL at the Geneva Show in March 1963?
I was there,fell in love,but did not have a picture.

Thanks.Ric Garland,north of Montreal.

Here is an idea Jress911, why not join as Full Member for $30- for a full year, get acssess to the site and Technical Manual and purchase the first book at a much reduced price. Think about it :)

I think what would add value to this proposed book would be photos of 113's as in the MB archives currently not released .

Thank you all for your interest in the Pagoda World Book, the amount of positive responses has been overwhelming and beyond our initial estimates.

The only way to obtain a copy of the Pagoda World Book Volume 1 will be to place an order. Ordering information will be posted soon. Ordering will be by prepay, preorder ONLY so we know exactly how many books to print and ship. We will not be printing any excess quantities nor will we keep any inventory of books. Simply posting  "I want one" will not reserve you a Pagoda World Book, you must order one at the time of ordering.  We expect to have the ordering cycle complete by the end of May and the books shipped by early June.

Cost of the Pagoda World Book will be $65 USD total including shipping to anywhere for FULL MEMBERS, Non Members cost is $90 USD total and include shipping to anywhere. 

Once Again Thank You for your interest in the Pagoda World Book Volume 1.

Simply pay attention to the ordering details once posted. They will be much like the badge project of a few years ago. You respond--you get a PayPal invoice--you pay the invoice. Simple. You do NOT need a PayPal account in which to pay.

This book is the first ten issues of Pagoda World Magazine; nothing more but a proper table of contents and a cover, etc. There is no additional information added and all ten issues are included as first published.
