Hello fellow collectors,

I have recently received a very nice and interesting MOY-ringbook. It contains a lot of pages with nice photos and informations.

In the Superfast range i only have the paperbooks from Charlie Mack, these books are good books but they don't contain measures nor other details of castings.

I'm happy that I own a Stannard in superb condition. There is an interesting sentence on the last page.

Is there a volume 2 about Superfast?

The German version of "The Collection" is not so easy to find it seems. If it has all the updates, you've done well with that one.

Really pity, but you have a lot of information on your site, especially the docs.
Many thanks for this.

So there is an English version? Having recently developed and affinity for YY's I am interested in acquiring some dedicated guides/catalogs.

Yes, the English version came first. There were several updates. Very out of date now, but the pictures are nice.

Care to go out on a limb and recommend a YY guide or catalog that I might be able to locate and purchase?
