This may be what you saw: Owner's Service Manual For Volkswwagen Squareback & Fastback Sedans published by Volkawagenwerk Aktiengessellshaft, 1966 Printed in Germany 11, 1966 [in English] Mine is ivory colored, but there may be a different one published later. It has the same large format pages that the Bentley has. It is clear that both this one and the later Bentley are derived from the actual VW service manuals since both use the same photos and some of the same text. > Is the Fitzgerald book actually published by Bentley? Yes, it WAS. VW Fastback/Squareback Handbook by John Fitzgerald published by Robert Bentley, Cambridge, Mass, 1970 SBN 8376-0042-1 (covers all Type IIIs, 1962-1969) - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
