Here a few photos, if you don't know who Kulig was:

Today is third anniversary of Kulig's death. R.I.P.

Mate - that should be The Pitstop Bookshop - http://www.pistop.net.au

Great place - I always used to visit the shop when I was in Perth for Rally Australia - I could spend hours in there !!

Do you want recommendations for specific books? If so which period are you interested in?
The comparatively recent books by both Vic Elford and Paddy Hopkirk are both recommended.

Incidently, what we all surely want is an autobiography from Pentti - including all the annecdotes and gossip about others that we so much enjoy from him on this forum!

I recently got my 2006 copy of "Slideshow" - I love the photography of Reinhard Klein. I did notice though that at the start of the book there was several pages of tribute to FORD on their manufacturers title AND pages of photo's of Gronholm with reference to World Rally Champion 2006 !! ... There was basically nothing about Seb Loeb winnnig the drivers championship !!! ... I thought this a bit odd and was wondering if Klein has something against Seb and or Citroen and or Kronos ???

Yeah I bought a Group B dvd from there. It's the best MotorSport bookshop in Australia. In rally, I'm interested in any era mainly classics though. I've got Vic Elfords and Possum Bournes autobioghraphies.

Thanks everyone.

Does anyone have the Safari Rally book by Klein & Davenport? I would rate it as one of my favourites.

PossumBourne has put out his own book and is a damn good read. Bourne to rally i think it is....
