You got it already? What kind of shape was it in. I have already heard a report that the cover was mangled. I know that happens but want to be sure. Also, how does page 15 and 18 look???

I received it a couple of days ago, in great condition. Pages 15 and 18 look good, what is your concern? Finished reading it today.
And my sticker was right where it belonged.

I got mine Friday, undamaged, looks good, no set up issues a novice like me would notice. Also no blurred printing that I can tell. Looks good and reads well. I'm about 1/2 the way through it.
thanks!

Got mine Sat
and I am usually way down the list in regard to the mail delivery. 6 days is standard from my house to Los Angeles, CA.
It's in great shape. Looking forward to reading it!

Any way to subscribe to it without being a VAC member (without even owning an AS yet to be honest, though I hope to have a vintage unit in the near future!)?

We got ours three days ago. Cover was pristine. We did have a blurry page 26 (18 was a little bit, but not as much--all still very readable). Great write-ups on Death Valley, battery testing and bearing repacks! Thanks, Tim!! The new VAC sticker was a cool surprise as well! Awesome issue. Keep up the good work!!!

I got mine yesterday. Cover intact. A little double print on page 11 at the top but good in other areas. Paper seems whiter and thicker than in the past. Free decal is an unanticipate surprise. Merchandise is reasonable price. I never knew the club provided the free service of getting an owner's manual. Thanks Forrest McClure for providing the service. I understand the one for my 63 would be pretty small but the one for the 77 is rather large and I still have the original. Thanks anyway.

I got mine and read it right away, cover to cover, stool outside next to the mail box and read 1/3. I then went into the yard and continues to read it, standing there, while holding the rest of the mail in my hand. What a fine publication. I think that the Blue Beret should take serious note. Mine arrive in perfect shape, however, the sticker is missing, where do I get one? No. I have the sticker, but would love another. I especially enjoyed the article about #8671 and Shari's introduction was spot on... good luck with getting to BoZeman... little bites is my technique. Take enough bites and you can eat an elephant.

Frank,
The top of page 30 has information on how to order VAC Merchandise, including additional stickers.

There is an order form for all the new VAC merchandise (including stickers) on page 30 - just opposite your " missing" sticker ~

It's better to look good and feel good.
Kimber and Tim,
You know by making the VAC Vintage Advantage look and feel so good, we will never let you go!
Let me know if there's ever any thing I can do to help out.
