Looking for the book "The Almost Complete Guide to American Flyer S Gauge Sets" by Robert J. Tufts

Thanks banjo flyer, but I finally reached Marty this am & he stated he doesn't have it. I nicely made a point that his catalog listing shows it available, thanked him & hung up.

 

Bottom line, still looking.  With being in Illinois, it's though for me to make the York show.  I'm sure someone is selling them there, but that doesn't help me much.

One sold on eBay a few days ago for $87 including shipping.  They are hard to find.  You may try one of the Facebook sites for Flyer.  

 

I had to buy one form a guy leaving the hobby a few years ago to get one.  I had already copied the pages I needed the most by borrowing a friends.

Thanks Bill, yes I saw that Ebay purchase also & have reached out to the AF Trains Facbook group as well.  I appreciate your response & I guess I'll have to keep searching for an ebay sale like everyone else.  Thanks again

Lacness:

 

I'd recommend checking with Ben Bernhart, proprietor of Rails 'N' Shafts. He maintains an inventory of tens of thousands of books at any given time. While primarily prototype in nature, he's constantly buying collections and sometimes modeling books are in those collections. I buy most of my books from him and he's come up with a lot of hard to find items. I don't know if he'd have this book but it's certainly worth a shot.

Good luck,

Check RailPub....and sign up to receive the searchable pdf catalog.

Thank you both CNJ & Old Goat for your advice.  I have already emailed an inquiry on the book with rail-n-shafts website & will definitely check out RailPub.com     Thanks again for your help.   It looks like the Yahoo Group "S-Trains" has something on putting together a volume 2 of this book with additional information, but is stated that the project will be a while.  Here's a link to that conversation  https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/g...tions/messages/76018

You can a get pdf of the book here Download Genius. I tried to sign-up, but they want $1.99 for a one day trial. Search the book title copy and pasted from the topic and it results in 2 versions.

 

Two libraries have a copy according to WorldCat:

 

Fun search. Good Luck!

Awesome, Thank you Moonman. Will look into this as soon as I get home &
will let you know how I make out.

Moonman, This link sends you to Superior Downloads site.  This sight has received alot of negative, scam, virus's & fraud reports.  The 3 day trail is now up to $3.00 & if you don't cancel the subscription before the trial period, you are automatically enrolled in the monthly fee of $40+ & they already have your credit information.   I'm passing on this for fear I'll fall victim as many others have.  I do appreciate you trying to help, but I think I'm better off looking for a hardcopy or a .pdf file from a trusted friend.  Thanks anyway.

That's why I didn't proceed. I couldn't determine if it was shaky or not. Good internet safety practices.

Oh well, a book hunt is almost like a train hunt.

Moonman, Yes it is like looking for a train or accessory.  BYW, I did receive a response from www.railpub.com from Paul.  He stated that he has never heard of that book.  I sent him a completed sale off of ebay which describes the book & has photo's of it.  He said he'd keep a lookout for it & let me know.
