Critics Review
“As a member of the Brooklands Society, Lancaster knows his subject well. Even if you already have all the other Brooklands books we have reviewed, you will find new visuals in this one, which only goes to show what care the publisher takes to give these tiny books real value… if you still don’t know Shire Books, you don’t know what you’re missing. These small books pack a wallop of information into their few pages!” –Rolls Royce Owners’ Club, Inc (December 2009)
