Definitive GT40 Book?

[Mike Christian]

A newbie here - is there a single definitive GT40 book out there that has the best detail photographs and history. I am talking about a book that is in print and accessible. Is there one book that stands out from the rest?

I am looking to buy/build a car and would like a reference.

Regards,
Mike

Hard to go wrong with Ronnie Spain's book.
And you can get it softcover now for $ 25.
www.motorbooks.com among others carries it.

But considering the cost...I'd buy others as well such
as John Allen's, which has great color photos.

I have these on e-Bay. Some are out of print and/or hard to come by:

I'd echo the Ronnie Spain in paperback - tho' I guess it depends on exactly what you want it for - a set of SAE papers might be an alternative !

I must admit to liking this one too : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2459167516&category=6762

I ordered the Spain book from Motorbooks - 24.95 - I have used them before with good results. I don't do ebay, but thanks for the offer Tom.

I have used the SAE connection before - thanks for that tip. I will look into the Allen book as well.

I appreciate the responses guys.
