It looks like a reprint. The cover shows the same picture and both old
and new book have the same number of pages (152). Only difference I
could see was the title was slightly different:
New - Original MGB: The Restorer's Guide to All Roadster and GT Models
1962-80 (Original Series) by Anders Ditlev Clausager
Earlier - Original MGB with MGC and MGB GT V8: The Restorer's Guide to
All Roadster and GT Models 1962-80 by Anders Ditlev Clausager

David,
Clausinger no longer works for the Heritage Trust. I wonder who revised
the book, and what new information it could possibly contain.

I see what you mean. Clausager's Original MGB is out of stock. However,
you may have missed the new version which Amazon says will be released
Feb 2011 but you can pre-order now for the bargain price of $32.97
(regular price USD49.95). Interesting too how most of the resellers are
fairly uniform in the $75-$80 selling range for a used copy of the last
release. A rather pricey book but perhaps that reflects on the quality
of material within.

I usually avoid Moss when buying books or videos so I went to Amazon.com
to see what they wanted for it. It seems they have only one seller with
a new one and he wanted $281.83 (!!!) for it. There were a number of
used ones starting at 74.98, also outrageous.
Is this book our of print, or are there some folks who are trying to
take advantage of someones lack of knowledge?
Jack
