MG Midget and Sprite Technical - High performance manual...

I have been trying to find a copy of the MG midget High Performance manual (ISBN 978-1-845841-42-3) but I can only find e-books for Kindle.

Has anyone purchased this book in paper form? From where?

R McGeown

It's like gold dust - but even more expensive!
Everyone, particularly second hand book sellers, know it's value and although no-one is going to pay those stupid Amazon prices, I can't see a second hand copy going cheap.
I downloaded it on Kobo which means I can read it on my pc. Not ideal but better than nothing. If there is a Kindle version now (there wasn't when I got it) I would have thought that would work acceptably well as long as the kindle handles the photographs clearly.

has Daniel not got a boxful tucked away for direct sales?
David Smith

He may be waiting for the price to go up a bit! lol

I would have thought it would be worth reprinting nowadays. After all, here's two sales. Anyone else?

There was a copy or two for sale in the bookstore under the ACO stand at Le Mans a couple of years ago

If I see any more perhaps I'd better import them

Nice little earner

Wish I'd written it

No, I just keep a mint copy of every edition for when I'm an old fart.

I might buy a box full next time.

I'd like to agree it's been a 'nice little earner' but it hasn't. I think I've made more money writing magazine features for a fraction of the time and expense. Remember, I've not yet managed to get a half day in the MIRA wind tunnel and do so would cost more than the sales of an entire edition! Nonetheless I don't lose money and have enjoyed writing it.

Worth a shot!

Thank you for your order, but this book is no longer in print and the publisher does not
intend to reprint in the future. I am therefore canceling your order and returning funds

Just purchased a copy from Google Play for my android tablet. Pictures look great.
Interesting reading.
