I must admit, seeing what you can buy it for, practically a tenner discounted - less that half of the Immortal - then what do we really expect?
I must admit, I'm not so worried about seeking the cheapest sites for books now. As authors make practically nothing anyway these days, its for all of us to make sure we order books from libraries or buy from anywhere just so they physically purchased and then get reprinted as a second edition! That authors' books will remain around long into the future, beyons all our lifespans, must be some compensation, I hope.
It is a small (A5?) book of 112 pages - no dust cover but in my view well produced with gloss paper and hard cover in that excellent new style perfect binding unlike the old of a year or so back where the pages fall out.
Pictures are all black and white from original as you would expect, and there is an introduction by Bob Wyatt.
I am up to page 32 and find it very interesting - it is an Austin Book rather than an Austin Seven book but nonetheless some fascinating bits of history.
Cheers, Tony.
