With the economy hurting, Bud only plans on printing 300 copies so getting in on this early is a good idea. The name of the book is "Up On The Wheel" and if you are interested you can contact Bud at 816-331-2220. This is a hard cover, quality production from the same publisher that Bob Mays uses. Let us know if you want in on this one !
