Hello!
I've been bitten hard by the MGBug, and consequently I'm going to be
purchacing my first in a few months. I'm currently planning on buying a
'74 MGB roadster... if thats a bad choice, someone please set me straight.
Anyway, in anticipation of the big day, I've been rooting around looking
for good reference books. Here's what Amazon.com has to offer:

I figure the Haynes manual is pretty much a given... I'm not the most
experienced mechanic (but I expect to be after having my B for a while),
so if there are any real must-haves, let me know. The 'Owners Survival
Manual' looks enticing...
Thanks!!
Skye
