KING MIDGET, The Story of America's Smallest Dream Car by Bob Vahsholtz has sold beyond expectations and is now in its second printing. Officially introduced at the 2007 Holland Jamboree, some copies were sold early and the first printing was sold out by year end. No changes have been made for the second run of books. 

The book is a trade paperback with more than 200 pages and 300 illustrations. The price is $22.00 plus $6.00 for shipping. Send a check for $28.00 ($29.60 for Californians) payable to the publisher, King Midgets West. The author will dedicate upon request. It is also available from the Athens County Historical Society and Museum, Midget Motors Supply and a few other selected retailers.  

Book profits are donated to special projects of the International King Midget Car Club. So far, with help from many others, a King Midget Model 2 like the one on the cover has been restored and is currently on display at the Athens County Historical Society and Museum.
