Well sure, but there's a difference between "interested" and "hopelessly
committed" ;)
There's also Bill Carroll's book, and "Tiger, Alpine, Rapier", the Clymer repair
manual, Gordon Chittenden's "Performance Tuning the Sunbeam Tiger", and a few
others. I just picked the two I did because they are reasonably available and
affordable, and don't have too many glaring inaccuracies.
