Speedway fan 206 Posted September 29, 2022 ordered mine and had this e-mail: Hope you are keeping well. Thank you for pre-ordering the Peter Collin’s autobiography. Apologies the book will not be published until next month and the slight delay has been caused by the fact that we have added considerably more content (resulting in more pages) in terms of words and photographs – many only becoming available very recently. (It’s amazing what PC has uncovered!). We now hope and expect to be posting the book – signed by PC – before the end of October. Very sorry for the wait. Many thanks for your patience and understanding. We believe the wait will be well worthwhile. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Clemens 646 Posted October 3, 2022 Hope it is coming soon as mine has been ordered 2 weeks ago. Recently, my son left a phone message to the publisher asking the reason for the delay. I asked him today if he'd had a reply and he said not. He suggested I came on here to enquire. I do think it would be more appropriate to put a date on the speedway star advert rather than 'coming soon' as that can extend to infinity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMac 720 Posted October 5, 2022 THE long wait for the Peter Collins autobiography is nearly over. This mammoth 504-page, full colour book by British speedway’s most decorated champion and published by ourselves at Retro Speedway is now with our printer. All being well, everyone who has pre-ordered a personally signed copy should hopefully receive it by the end of this month. We sincerely apologise for the delay of a book that we initially planned to release in mid-August but was delayed for all the right reasons. We’ve added more than 100 pages to the original spec, many more rare pictures and lots more content. All this added weeks to a hefty tome but we are confident the wait will be worthwhile. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you haven’t ordered your copy from us yet, taking advantage of our introductory offer of a £5 saving on the RRP of £25 in the UK, go to www.retro-speedway.com or phone Susie on 01708 734 502. Peter will sign every copy ordered through Retro Speedway, which is another great reason to buy it for £20 directly from us instead of the likes of online giants Amazon and retailers Waterstones. Thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
