I heard a negative comment about Dave W's book. I had received His book a couple of months ago and it resided next to a shelf of Morgan Books I have purchased over the years and not really read. I just read Dave's book and looked at the many pictures and wondered if I could do as well as He did. No it was not about old Morgans. Yes it was about newer Morgans from about 2000 and newer. Dave left no stone unturned except maybe the excruciating detail about the engines that Morgan used. He showcased the many interesting modifications that He has made over His Morgan years. He is good at this and I enjoyed and learned from Him. Great read before one orders a New Morgan from the Factory for sure. Maybe read it again after the first year of Ownership or like I did for general knowledge. Well worth the money I paid and worth My time reading it. I wish I could do as well as He did.

I wish I could do as well as He did. Indeed. I wonder how many books the source of the negative comment has written?

Button, you are too modest.
My favorite Morgan books are the bedtime reader and a yank at malvern, they both refer to someone whose name is Button......
Your article about fitting the gemma steering box is on my pile of to do stuff, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to wield the big hammer!

Thank you Button!....Tim and errrr Stewart.....
It was quite tough making it hang together and getting the right tone.
Like anything you can't please everybody!
Theres a comment on Amazon from a guy called greybeard (I think) who clearly doesnt like it!
I can't see me doing another, although overall it has been an enjoyable experience.

I thought it is a "must have" for anyone owning or thinking of getting a more recent Morgan. A good read, well put together and a very handy source of information when not sure about something - or even if sure then Dave probably has a better/simpler way of doing it.

I got the book recently, and reckon it’s excellent. This thread reminds me that I should post a review on Amazon!

This is the treatment I got when I asked our favourite author to sign my copy of his book !!!!!....  Question: Has this added value or what ?
