Vehicle Dependent Expedition Guide
 

Hi Kevin,

Try the man himself Tom Sheppard - Four by four driving techniques and vehicle expedition driving

Happy trails,

Peter

I also bought it recently from him: quick reply and shipping and easy paypal payment. Still have to read it more in depth, but in principle very happy with it.

Consider as well Chris Scott's "Overlanders' Handbook". Really good book.

Unfortunately the new print run of VDEG has already sold out.

I understand there is the possibility of a further updated reprint in the late autumn, depending on the number of back-orders that appear.

What a shame, I guess you just missed it: I ordered my copy the 28th May and the site is not yet updated and shows available instead of sold out... Sad, as he says himself, "sold out drove used-copy prices to absurd levels".

Overland Expo site used to have copies for sale, but they seem to have run out as well. You may double check with them if they still have any. Overland Expo - OX Gear & Books

But with such a demand, chances are that there will be a new reprint, so just need some patience (I waited as well, since 2nd hand were "no way"!).

Hardback 1998 copy on ebay at present for traditional stupidly high price (125 quid)

I bought mine in 1999, just walked into stamfords in London and there was a pile of them there.

I now keep that copy for best (especailly as its now a signed copy) and travel with the 'field edition' which is the softcover version.

Ideally it needs reformatting so that a site such as Lulu or even amazon could do on demand printing of it but I guess that would be alot of work, or the RGS to help Tom fund a larger print run to keep prices down
