My apologies Blake, it seems my copy actually came from
http://www.books4cars.com
That may not be the best place to buy it, of course; the cost was $44.95 +
$8.95 shipping (which included two other, smaller Stag books). It does have
an ISBN number :
ISBN 1 870642 996
A curious thing happened not long after I got the car : I rather urgently
needed a front brake soft line, so I started calling all the local shops;
perhaps someone had one on the shelf they'd be willing to sell me. Found a
shop that said they did, drove down there the next day, only to find that
the part on their shelf did not fit. (Nothing curious about that, happens
all the time.) The curious part was that they had a "common parts" type
catalog from Moss USA; that did list some parts for the Stag ! Even more
curious, I noted the P/N for my brake hose and called Moss to order by P/N.
The order taker said "Oh, you're working on a Stag, aren't you ?"! Anyway,
few days later I received two nice new front hoses, still in their Lucas/TRW
wrappers. Note that Moss USA still "does not carry Stag parts", I had asked
for those hoses by description only a few days earlier ...
