People are talking about The Saleen Book and Owners Registry: 20 Years of Saleen Mustangs - the 430-page hardcover scheduled for release in April by Driveway Books.
“The Saleen Book is such a thorough and colorful telling of the Saleen Mustang story that even I learned a lot reading it!” - Steve Saleen
“It’s about time somebody did a book on Steve, and I’m delighted to be a small part of the Saleen history.” - comedian and co-founder of Saleen/Allen Speedlab Tim Allen
“The Saleen Book and Owners Registry is a long-anticipated history of the Saleen Mustang in pictures and words. It’s a must for anybody interested in high-performance Mustangs. I’ll be using it for reference for years to come.” - automotive writer/photographer Jerry Heasley
The Saleen Book, of which only 5,000 will be printed, is available in two formats:
“The Standard” hardback edition includes a full-color history chapter for each year of Saleen production; the all-encompassing Owners Registry, which lists specs and available information on more than 7,000 individual Saleen Mustangs; an extensive media bibliography; and sidebars on cars of interest from the past two decades. This 20-year history retails for $60.
The premium hardback edition is known as “The Saleen 500,” as that’s how many are being produced with individual serial numbers on a bound certificate of authenticity; a high-quality, illustrated jacket; and Steve Saleen’s autograph. Each copy of this desirable collector’s edition is $120.
Automotive journalist and former Saleen publicist Brad Bowling wrote The Saleen Book from an insider’s angle that gives his story a uniquely intimate perspective. Illustrating the book are more than 500 of the 8,000 slides Bowling shot of original, unmodified cars as he traveled coast-to-coast researching this book, as well as many from Steve Saleen’s company archives.
Because this special publication is expected to move as quickly as a supercharged S-351, Driveway Books is encouraging pre-orders through this Web site (where VISA and MasterCard are welcome). Shipping for both versions of The Saleen Book will begin the first week in April; please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

I received mine in the mail the other day finally. I love it!
After looking through it, I told the wifey that if we got a say an S-351 R-code, we would have red, white, and blue mustangs! One Turbo, one super and one n/a. How cool would that be? As usual I get the
look. 
Hey Chuck, I just saw won an auction for an SA-20 poster. Now I need the diecast to go with it......and of course real thing.....like my logic?

Rob,
I do like your thinking!
I recently ordered the 1/18th yellow S-351 coupe & vert, so I guess I should start looking for some real cars and use the new Saleen book as a reference.
I also just got the Saleen SA-20 poster and a friend was able to get Steve Saleen to sign it at the 40th show.
He added my #07 car number to the signature. (Per-ordered the diecast SA-20 too.)

Or are they adding a new car to the lineup?
That would be surprising if they did a complete redesing after two years.
