I'm a big collector of rally books but think I will be unable to shell out £900+ for the new twin volume version of Mklein's Group B book. Obviously this is primarily aimed at members of the Slowly Sideways club so I guess if you can afford to run a Group B car then this amount of money is small beer!

For that money You can rent rally car and try..

I am also a collector of rally books and I have this dilemma since I read the original Group B book....

maybe lottery will save us

I thought the "Rise and Fall of Group B" was a great book, with good insights and opinions on the matter, plus it had a great collection of McKlein images.

Having read that one, I'm eager to duck my nose into this one, and I think even though it's extremely pricey, it's defenitly worth it too. I do think it's mostly meant for people involved (as Sal said) and that it's more or less a collectors item. I heared the circulation of the book is only minimal too.

But anyway, too expensive for me at the moment...

Oops, just saw in the intro Michéle (Mouton) instead of Michèle.
That differs from the so-called "deutsche Gründlichkeit"…

It's cheaper watching the review DVD of WRC 1985.

Well, it needs to be a big book if it is genuinely covering the subject - virtually anything on 4 wheels that couldn't meet the criteria for GpN or A in 1982 was homologated into GpB, not just a few so-called "supercars".

Maybe book is homologated.. xd

I always like the books by mcKlein, but a lot of times I find them too expensive for what you actually get.

Expect a lot of data/statistics on WRC/ERC/NationalRC, and other results. That will fill up a lot of pages. Also pictures, which a lot of will not be new.

When I first read about this book (about a year ago) I really wanted to have it, now I just don't think it is worth the money, despite there undoubtedly being some interesting stories/anecdotes from those involved. But for 999euro you expect a lot, and with pictures and statistics you can find anywhere taking a large part of the substance, that's a hefty price tag.
