I don't know a whole lot about other books, but whether you want the
Vitrikas book depends on exactly what you want to know. It is more
of a history and development book for the A (a pretty good one too).
It does have pretty good info on equipment, colors, and what models
had what equipment. But if you are looking for something with loads
of picture to help guide you in the rebuilding of the car, this is
not what I would choose. I do have the book, and if you are really
into the story with the A, it's very worthwhile to have.
Just some thoughts from a professional lurker.....
