Looking at the content , not expensive - very much a collectors item i'd say a must for yourself .. i may source another place just in-case can get it cheaper .

Yeah that's what I thought and good Schneider Trophy books are hard to come by I will purchase it from "The Book Depository" along with Alan Deere's Nine lives

That's OK The book appears to be a new release some shops are advertising it, but they don't have it in stock yet. It is listed on the Whitcolls website as in stock, I run the local shop today and they don't have a listing for it, they said that's not unusual as some of the books are available on line but not in store.

Ive had a few through Barnes and Noble in the U.S ....Takes a while to arrive, but even with shipping , still cheaper than buying it here.
