Too Generic C. House I expected much better. Much of the information is generic, applicable to any car, like rust, panel fit, etc It doesn't go into what to look for in different models. While there are some specifics about Healeys, it is weak and not detailed enough. Sure, there is info if you don't know much about cars but if you are. Laurie Wilford said Very compact book with the essentials of what to look. Very compact book with the essentials of what to look for when someone new to the marque is considering purchasing a big Healey. The book is not large enough to offer quality images nor long enough to offer the detail that may be required to make a purchase decision. Other larger, more expensive Healey books alread. Good stuff. Your friend Gave as gift to a Healey lover. I too paid no attention to the smaller size of the book during purchase and was somewhat surprised upon its arrival. It isn't a coffee table book so have your halfies on hand. Good stuff.
