I wanted to know if anybody knows about this book and where I could find more like it. If not, have a look for fun
I contacted GAMA and long story short, they have no clue!
I got this a few years ago when I was 12 or so and didn't think much of it until I started flying. I bought a couple of books that were at a book sale at College Park Airport, some apparently from an airport manager/dealer.
This book is published by Ziff-Davis and was published in 1978.
It lists aircraft by type and shows their specs along with price. It's an awesome piece of history. Pretty cool to see what 20k would have bought back then! Also noteworthy are the specs of what sold for cheap.
Here are some shots...
(Note, I added all 20 pics here and then they didn't show, sorry to send you to Flickr!)

Here's the entire set of pics of the book
The book has about 40-50 pages
I have checked eBay, other auction sites, checked google but my efforts have not yielded results. I get the purpose of the book but I want to know more about it. I also have a couple of fighter jet POH's too but those were easy to find.
