I got it cuz I wanted more to read about the Spridgets. I guess it
depends on what you are doing with your AN5. Lindsey Porters got a
good book on the restoration of the early Sprites. Of course the OS&M
by Terry Horler is a great read, and is full of changes via chassis
and engine #. And if you decide to get technical, you can get Power
Tune Your Sprite or Midget for Road or Track, by Daniel Stapleton.
This book isn't quite as thick as David Vizards book on the A series.
It is thicker than the Dallas phone book, and honestly, if I need to
sleep, I can count on a chapter to get me dozing pretty quick.
I am not a tech geek, but it has some good stuff to refer to. Other
than that, it is about as exciting as reading a dictionary. I go in,
glean what I need, and can comprehend, and go on.
