Hmm, easy to see that Roger did not get to edit the Amazon book description. Presumably it will be available through the PWA7C, to whom I would rather give my business than Amazon.

It will be interesting to read what new information might be within the pages, it always amazes me that such can occur.

Any comments or reviews on Roger Bugg's book, especially for the impecunious Special owner? It seems that it's a very slim tome. Just wondering if it's worth buying. I can't find any actual reviews online.
Thanks, Geoffrey

Geoffrey.
Roger Bugg has been a good friend of mine for many years and I assisted him with some information to, and proof reading of, the book so I may not be too impartial.
Roger writes well and is the author of several books on veteran bicycles - his other love.
Whilst I agree with Ruairidh that there does seem little more to write on the Seven, Roger has concentrated more on the social history of the model and the effects it has had on future motoring . Yes, a slim volume of just under a hundred pages, copiously illustrated.
I will say no more.

Whilst on the subject of books, little has been mentioned of another recent publication. The Complete Catalogue of the Austin Seven by James Taylor and published by Herridge and Sons Limited. Several contributors to this Forum have inputted to the book. I believe it is an important addition and a useful aid to those perhaps struggling to get their heads around the various models - I know I do at times. Beautifully produced with, once again, masses of illustrations.

All I can say is that the Amazon puff was not written by the author! The moment it appears for sale through PWA7C I will buy a copy.
