Thought I would expand my library and get a couple of nice classic mini books for Xmas ( well they should be better than socks)
I thinking of nice glossy pics and a bit of model history.
Anyone can help with suggestions?

Thanks Rick

The Last Works Minis is one of my faves. Loads of colour pictures and info about the last Rover backed rally minis starting with the 1994 Monte Mini L33 EJB.

Complete Classic Mini 1959-2000 by Chris Rees is excellent for listing every variant of the Mini including specification details. Sadly it appears to be out of print.
Original Mini Cooper and Cooper S by John Parnell is essential reading for Cooper enthusiasts.
