Well, I read Johnny's book last week and quite enjoyed it. Possibly because I always felt closer to him than many others, having been a member of Racing for Britain and having taken my wife to our first race meeting together at Brands on that fateful day in 1988 - even more fateful as I shunted my MGB on the way.... I didn't scrutinise the facts closely or check the history books - I just enjoyed what was an amusing if fairly lightweight read.

The Jack Brabham Story, a good read on the great man, and that era of Formula1 racing and also racing sports car and anything that paid money.

Another one that is interesting and a little bit different-Memories of James Hunt written by Christopher Hilton.

I fancy the Alan Mann F3L story but not at 75 quid!

I've got my eye on the Vic Elford bio, it's out of print but his website says he has a few remaining signed copies. They aren't cheap but I look at it as an investment.
Another book, I've had my eye on for years now but is also out of print is the book about the Rodriguez brothers. The prices are truly eye-watering! |

If that's case then I'm ordering soon! Thanks. The last time I checked was years ago and copies were going for $300! I'm not kidding! I thought it would still be the case - a bit silly on my part to assume.

I bought the Trans-Am 66-72 book for less than 30 quid on amazon.
Lovely story of that era. |

I picked up my Rodriguez brothers book today. Wow! It's a big and heavy one! There's a slight tear on the dust cover but I can live with that. It must have been a real labour of love for author; it looks and feels it and it looks great! Really happy with it.

I must disclose that I was involved in this book but despite that it turned out well. Anyone interested in GT Racing in the modern era should grab a copy.

Received Darren Banks's excellent 'Stephen South-The way it was' book and John Davenport's 'Gr.4 From Stratos to Quattro' effort.
Thoroughly enjoying both! |

I was given Adrian Neweys book "How To Build A Car" for Christmas - I've got stuck into it and so far it's a good read

I've heard good things about the book. I may have to add it to my ultra long list of desired books. Is there much about the man and his early days as a designer or is it loaded with the modern F1 stuff? The latter leaves me a bit cold.
