He should just give the narration and someone else could write it? Called collaboration.
Gentry Lee (JPL) did this with Arthur C. Clark on several books. Also collaborated with Carl Sagan's 1980 COSMOS.
Gentry is a VERY colorful character here on lab. Highly criticized for putting too much sex into his fiction.
I think he has been married 7 times and has 8 children (or is it married 8 times with 7 children. ;-) All boys.
Working with him is a hoot. 2 beer story.

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Tom Tjaarda on Creativity
Trying to compose my thoughts on the review of the recent released deTomaso book, I was trying to figure out how to express the desire for a book not documenting the people that are responsible for the Pantera, but could a book be about the development of the Pantera detailing the work of those people, more of an technical/engineering/design documentation.
Then reading the stories of meetings with Tom Tjaarda and how much he enjoys sharing the details of his work, I realized the only one that could write a book that would be of a highly technical aspect would be T Tjaarda. If he would undertake such a task, I would hope he could gather the recollection of the engineers he worked with.
I was also thinking if I attend Hilton Head event, what “item” would I want personalized by Tjaarda. I would think a reproduction of one of the construction drawings during the design would be my most lusted after.
Could POCA ask if he would?

Jeff, 14 of these cars were made. Contemporary to the 330GTC, it
