The Book of MINI

Anyone seen this at the dealers ??

I flicked through it when I sold my S to Wollaston MINI this week

But what a fab book..... some great development sketches and concepts in there, along with all the history.

Asked if I could buy one but they only get given one copy per dealership aparently!!

Anyone know different?

Phil.

Its the big one in the dealers, multicolored cover, square, loads of pages and tons of really cool visuals of the MINI family.

If you don't like/care about marketing ********, I find Graham Robson's "New MINI - Second Edition"to be a fantastic book as well.

'02 Cooper CVT PW/B Leatherette, MFSW, 15" 8-spokes

'05 MCS CR/W Union Jack, Chrome exterior pack, Convenience Pack, H/K, Front & Rear fogs, MFSW, MINI iPod adaptor, Leatherette, Antharcite, 16" V-Spokes, ASC+T, OBC, Manual Aircon, Halogens

I think this new book concentrates more on the "cult"aspect of the MINI ownership experience by mentioning MINI clubs and internet forums/blogs.

But this begs the question... How many more books do we really need about the new MINI?

We have...

Patrick Paternie's book

Graham Robson's book

and now this new edition.

'02 Cooper CVT PW/B Leatherette, MFSW, 15" 8-spokes

'05 MCS CR/W Union Jack, Chrome exterior pack, Convenience Pack, H/K, Front & Rear fogs, MFSW, MINI iPod adaptor, Leatherette, Antharcite, 16" V-Spokes, ASC+T, OBC, Manual Aircon, Halogens

I have it and it's an excellent book indeed.
Very informative and superbly put together and laid out.
Lots of superb pics and sketches.

I have the MINI concept book too which is worth finding..
