   You're not the only one.  Wonder how much New Information, New Facts Data and Pictures are in this £64.00 book,  Best wait and see, [] then wait a little longer and you should be able to buy it at half the price [] .....  not being tight, Just seems a bit steep if it lacks  much or any new material !!   Unfortunately the ACtion review,gave Little or no indication of the quantity of new material. Conclusion:- a good addition to your  reference library.

It's the standard Brooklands Books format: a collection of road tests across the entire history of AC.  How much is new depends on how many of the articles you have seen.  I had not seen a lot of the early ones.  The reproduction quality is better than many of the earlier Brooklands issues but they have squashed some of the later tests to fit the page size, so the aspect ratio of the photos is wrong on those articles.
