There have been a number of books published that are of value to those
who appreciate the Austin-Healey Sprite. Below is a list of the books
in my library, and I would certainly be interested in knowing of others
that I may have missed. (Again, anyone in Southern California is
welcome to look at these and my catalogs of English suppliers.
