Who Is Victor W. Pagé?

My favorite Model A repair book is the impressively titled Ford Model A Service Manual and Handbook of Repair and Maintenance by Victor W. Pagé. The copy I have is a 1961 reprint published by Floyd Clymer Publications. The original was published by the Norman W. Henley Publishing Co. in 1929, subsequently revised.

Apparently Mr. Pagé was quite prolific and was one of the first people to make a living writing and publishing technical material. He published thirty-three books over his career. For the book I have, pictured here, he took content provided by the Ford Motor Company and shaped with his own organizational genius. Having read a half dozen of the Model A manuals out there, no one has much improved on Pagé's original work.
