If you haven't already bought, Abe Books are listing one in Australia.

No problem - just happened to be looking through & that caught my eye.

I'm dithering over a certain copy myself!

I see you haven't changed over the years then John.

Get a copy, you will not regret it.

Funny you should say that - only yesterday a friend sent me a photo he had found of me at Silverstone in 1997 & I haven't changed at all (well, only a little bit). Only problem is we haven't a clue what the occasion was - it's not a race meeting, possibly a Ford press event - and I have no idea who I am talking to in the picture! I can confirm it's not you.

And yes, I've just splashed out on a rather expensive signed copy, so the book on eBay on the French Grand Prix by our dear departed friend David Hodges might have to wait.

I make it six people have purchased copies of the Moss book I recommended, I am extremely flattered that anyone respects my opinion - on any thing!

I am quite sure that no one will regret it.

Cheers,

Bauble.

Blabbermouth! Now the secret is out, and I may never make the New York Times Best Seller List.

You should be grateful for that - you just know the irrelevant sort of questions that one would ask...

Glad you enjoyed the book.

My copy of the Moss book arrived today. In splendid condition with a great dust jacket for a book that is now 67 years old! Looking forward to a read....

I've received my copy this morning. Like Aysedasi's, mine also has a fine dust jacket, & is also signed by the man himself. However, tucked in various pages through the book I also found various press cuttings about Sir Stirling, all from 1996/97, & even a birthday card depicting SM in the Camorardi Birdcage Maserati, also dated 1997.

Now I wonder who Barbara was.........

Maybe I will wait for some feed back first John, perhaps there will be a lot of dissatisfied customers wanting their money back.

Always a danger when making recommendations.
