    Thanks to our very own hamber "April May" for the resource and motivation from her very own self-published book:) It's called DRIVEN and it's my first attempt at capturing a series of photos for a collection of traditional hotrods and customs from various car shows i've attended over the last year or so in California. I created both a large hardbound (shown) and a smaller version softcover book for a cheaper price. These are only available through the Hamb and are a very limited run. I also want to thanks Coby for influencing me to bring out my camera with his own magazine (Church) and test my creative skills with a digital lens. I sure hope you guys enjoy it!

    the hard cover version-

    The Book is all sold out, thanks to all who order it:)



    I'm really stoked on how this project came out and very excited for ya'll to peep it!
    So once again, thank you for all your support and stay blessed,
    CAB

    I was over Steve's last night & I just want to say that the book came out great. The man has talent! Thanks for the preview & putting pics of my kid's car in your book. Please put me down for 4 of each.
     
  12. I have got to order this book. Are there any pictures of a certain gold coupe in the book?
     
  13. WOW, your not just a skateboarder after all:D
    Very cool, put me down for a signed copy.

    wow ...everyone:) This response has been very overwhelming on pm's and book orders since i posted this last night. I guess i'll be putting my order in real soon from the publishing company to get all these hardcover books orders made!

    Just to let you guys know, this is not a money making deal, i'm basically charging everyone the same price it cost me to make each book for such a limited order and the fact this book is made in the USA and not printed in China and mass produced). Sorry it's so expensive!

    Cheers to Dale Rustydeuce on the Hamb all the way from New Zealand for being the first hamber to purchase the book!

    Stan ... the coupe-de-cab does make a special appearance on both versions of the book.

    as for 3Wlarry, his cars not in the book, but he does get a mention/ special thank you in the hardcopy:)

    once again thanks for all your compliments, support and hard cover book orders!

    If it wasn't for hamber April May( buy her book too, it's great) this would not have been a dream come true so quickly for me.

    This place rocks!

  21. As soon as my wife stops being mad at me for ordering the autographed version of The Electroline Diaries (without telling her and screwing up the budged - haha) then you can count me in for one.

    Congradulations man

    Let me guess, you're All State Champion in table tennis as well. Nice going Steve! Is this a on-line order only or can you get it at specialty stores, like Burbank Aero Auto book store.

    Ken


    I guess I should read the thread more thoroughly, I'll place an order.

    Cab came by my shop on Tuesday to show me the books, I was totally impressed, very nice books! Cab is actually selling them for what they cost him, so he's putting all of this work and time into them and then not even making a buck! I told him I wanted one of each the hardcover and the smaller softcover. Who ever orders them, believe me you won't be disapointed!
