My view on the BON is rather different.
It is a wonderfully written and researched effort containing information in
an easily accessed manner. Perhaps the most useful/important today is the
"Here Comes the Judge" section which has information that owners trying to
restore their cars constantly need to reference.
The first problem is that the entire marque needs this information, not just
those of lucky enough to own a copy. (Thanks, Norm!)
Whether or not Norm does some kind of a reprint or writes a new book (which
may or may not include this judging information) doesn't change the
"un-lucky's" need for a good reference resouce.
CAT owns a BON that it lends out to members but many are not members. As
some point in time, I'm sure someone, maybe Doug Jennings or a person like
him will sit down and do their own reference version.
It's gotten to the point where some (including myself) will no longer use
the BON as the source for questions on the Tiger Quiz (given at Tigers
United) because of basic fairness to all those who don't have a copy.
