    Good to hear from you !!

    Just to be clear, the books listed for sale are generally second level books in my library - but some are quite high!. My CORE library is quite substantial and they are all the books that I plan to retain until the day of my last breath. For the fun of it I might pull out the list of magnificent books I have and share it with you. As I am sure you have experienced, there is nothing like a stack of superb books - beautifully written, beautifully printed and about the great people in our sport and the supreme racing machines that they have designed, constructed and/or driven - all for our pleasure !!!

    Cheers
    John M..
