Free Stude books

[BRUCESTUDE]

These have been sitting in my shop gathering dust, so it's time to pass them on! These 6 books were all put out c.1980, and have lots of information on Stude mechanics, interior, performance, and body. They are all older home published books with either hand drawn illustrations or photocopied articles, printed on heavy stock. Free except you pay postage! Send me a PM if interested....
UPDATE: Books spoken for! Will delete post shortly...Bruce

I'd be interested in copies.

Ditto that since I missed the original gift, even if just posted on the web.

I would also be interested in copies.

We could .PDF and post them available to all here on the Stude website.

I like that idea. I think many of us here would find these interesting and useful.

[ndynis]

I would sure be interested.

[voxnut]

I'd be interested too!

What would Dick Datson have to say about that ?

He'd most likely have you begin by fiber glassing the floors.
Just kidding, is Dick still with us?

Aren't these booklets Copyrighted? You can't just go off and make and distribute copies without gaining permission.

It was nice of you to offer your set for free, but I think that is as far as it should go. I have a set around here from when they came out.

This must be the only auto site that is concerned about Copyrights. Every other forum has the complete FSM's (Factory Service Manuals) posted online and fully available for free. This includes GM and Toyota.

I'm not an attorney and I don't play one on TV. I'm quite sure there are those here that are fully vested in it that way. Do copyrights expire? I guess they do, if they have been around for 95+ years. I guess we're not there yet.........

If it helps the Marque stay around, it may be helpful to have the info.

This is from Rich Stim of Stanford;

All works published in the United States before 1923 are in the public domain. Works published after 1922, but before 1978 are protected for 95 years from the date of publication. If the work was created, but not published, before 1978, the copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.Mar 27, 2013.

If the author is still living he can grant permission to copy, reprint, or post this information.

I don't think it's that big a deal, no attorney is going to come looking for you. It would cost far too much to litigate.
