Rick,
I'm trusting your recommendation -- went to alibris.com and found the book
for sale at a whole range of prices and conditions. While I was there, I did
a search on L.J.K. Setright and found his "The Social History of Cars" so I
ordered that too. Both books for total of $35. Silly to put in orders for
less than $30.
Finding old racing and auto classics has gotten so much easier since the
internet booksellers started up. Used to be that I had to wait for my annual
trips to London to hit the used auto booksellers.

Thanks for the recco.
Best
Gary
