[Healeys] Essential Buyers Guide ?

My copy arrived today. It looks OK at first glance, but it's a damned small
book 7.75" by 5.5". It's 0.20" thick, very thin. 64 pages long. Full of
colour pics, some of which are a bit small. However, for what I paid (#7.79
in UK), I'm perfectly satisfied. If, for example, one actually was a new
buyer, then this little volume would be a useful and highly portable tool.

AH Spares this morning, I sent Amazon an email asking when they would have
it in stock.  The reply - no idea, but they upgraded the shipping.  So, I'm
hoping for May ...
