That's a bit steep for a book that is used but hardly antiquarian. Perhaps Haynes should consider a fresh print run.
Incidentally I recently picked up a copy of 'Austin 1905-1952' by Wyatt. Traders not uncommonly ask £50 for this but I managed to get one on fleabay for £15. It certainly gives all the facts and figures but is a rather dry read.

It is steep, but contains some terrific pictures and the information is from the workers, those that worked with Issigonis and people on the shop floor.
It is a real eye opener for anyone interested in the history during Leonard Lords days and afterwards with George Harriman.
You may find a cheaper copy elsewhere.
