I have just read on this site that Billy has a deco. rod wrap book. I have all three of the Clemens books and am very interested in adding Billys book to my arsenal.Could those of you that have it tell me what it includes.Does it start with the basic diamond / chevron wraps and go from there? I have admired his work for a long time. Also does anyone have his e mail address to contact him? Thanks again for your help.

His work is admirable. A quick search for Billy Vivona will find his email addie, Tom. I have his book but haven't taken any time yet to go through it. Shoulda made him use that pen I gave him and sign it for me! LOL! I'll wait until the hard cover comes out and make him scribble on that.

Once you've done a search on his name, go to one of his posts and click on his name. It'll give you his email address. It's his work email so mark well in the subject line so he won't delete with the spam. He told me he gets a lot.

I spoke with Billy yesterday and there's not too many copies of the booklet left. Best to act soon.

I'm in a bad spot since I'm not a sponsor yet.
