    Its a great book. Lots of detailed information on every model that was out when it printed It has been out of print for a while I believe but it sounds like you've found a copy. Amazon had it for $60 but I found a copy for $8 shipped under the used section on Amazon if you can believe it.

    I forgot you asked about the SV. There is a chapter just on it and the Jota with quite a few quotes from Bob Wallace.
    There are even four chapters just on the Miura.

    I agree. I have had mine a long time. Definitely worth owning this book.

    I really enjoyed it (and still do). I bought my copy years ago at a bookstore in an Airport! It made for some great reading on the flight home!

    Lots of great photos, specs and history.

    L books are often lightweight :).

    F books can be difficult to carry around.

    A very good book, considering when it has been published and how it was written by Pete Lyons.
