I'll put you down for one. The book you got from Peter is probably David
Eccles book. Pretty good fact book with lots of pictures. Progressive
Refinements has no pretty pictures, it's just a compilation of facts from the
factory. Like an historical engineers data book.

I reproduced several copies of Progressive Refinements Vol I, 1940s
through 1961. If you don't know: what this publication is, it is
originally a factory produced document by VW of all the changes made to
all types of the VW from the first beetles in 1946 listed by date, VIN
and body # with a description of the change. Volume I goes through the
1961 model year and contains some 322 pages.
To give you an example: 16 March 1960 at VIN 584 674 the Type II
changed from the chrome grooved small inner door handle to the later
style (long plastic on non-deluxe and short chrome on deluxe). And I
bet you real vintage bus nuts thought that was a 1961 model year change
didn't you? Nope, 4 1/2 months of 60s had em.
At any rate: this book is an excellent reference source for the anal
retentive like Will and me. Point is, I plan on having several copies
at the Classic for sale @ $40 each. For the TCB anyone who wants one
and lets me know before the Classic I=2
0will bring you one for $35..
I am currently searching for a Vol II which goes from 61 through 67 but
have had no success to date.
