Ricardo book reprint

Any comments from those who have original copies? I'd certainly be interested in the reprint if 'the panel' pronounce it to be worthwhile.

I'll have a look later, but my memory of it is that it's a bit mathematical ;o))

I'l be ordering mine when I get round to it.

I have a mid-wartime copy, which is an interesting read but there's little in it that isn't in other books too. I used to have a '50s copy too (4th ed?) which is much more interesting as it has details of the Napier Sabre and Nomad(s) in it, engines which aren't otherwise easy to find descriptions of.

A '60s copy went on eBay for 63 quid at the weekend. I've seen them go for as much as £180.

My copy of the re-print just arrived - it seems to be a faithful copy of the original, just has a modern dust cover. The excellent fold-out drawings are there, all very nicely done.
