Reviewed Book

[Tony Press]

The current VSCC Bulletin has an expansive if unattributed review of "The Immortal Austin Seven"  by David Morgan, described as a colourfully presented history. I have yet to see the book reviewed in the Seven world, so at £45 plus p&p should it join the line of vital volumes already on our shelves? Perhaps if Veloce Publishing could send a review copy to me, or more likely Stuart Ulph, then a review could soon appear on the forum.

This book has been discussed a few times on the forum since it was published last year. 

It has some interesting information and pictures and can now be bought for quite a discounted price. 

I find the 'breakout' sections distracting and the curious claim that Herbert received some sixteen pounds for each car, but it is a colourful book and probably worth the discounted price. 

Veloce Publishing use their books to advertise their other books which presumably keeps costs down. 

I am even more impressed by the latest Veloce book on Austins- 'An Austin Anthology' by Jim Stringer just released and available from the Book Depository at a very good price- most interesting so far in my reading.

Cheers, Tony.
