Over the last few years I have collected, been kindly given or received various Morgan books and other books related to the Kent Engine etc. I thought it useful to collate this as below. Perhaps others can add too so we can build up a full bibliography that can help others (such as Haynes manuals etc.) that link back to our cars.
Due to formatting constraints the format is:
Title-Author-Year-ISBN
And is broken up in to sections as follows:

I've owned both of those for several years Richard. Now that I have located a source of 3-ring binders in the UK, I will unwrap and start reading!
