New Minor Book.

Browsing in Foyles in London today and came across a Minor book I did not know about. It is in a series called 'Britain's Heritage ' and silly entitled 'Morris Minor' by Gillian Bardsley. (she also did a very good biog of Issigonis) Slightly steep for 64 pages at £8.99 (£4.50 on Amazon) but it has some stunning early photos of prototypes that I had not seen before and one of Issigonis breaking a bottle of Champagne against a Million when launched. Lots of publicity shots, which again I was not familiar with. Worth having I think.

Got that somewhere, didn't know it was still in print. Mine probably still in an attic box 5 years after our house move.
