Haines 'Tiger I Workshop Manual'

[steverobertsbbc]

Hope this isn't off-topic, but I wanted to enthuse about the new Haines manual for the Tiger I. Although obviously modelled to look like one of the famous Haines car manuals, it isn't of course - but it is a very nice book indeed.

Written by experts from the Tank Museum and based largely around the museum's own Tiger 131, it's a hugely accessible guide to every aspect of this magnificent tank. I'm sure we've all got very worthy but somewhat dry tank books in our collections, but this is the opposite. It's clearly written and well illustrated, with colour cutaway drawings and lots of photographs.

Very well worth the small amount being asked for it!

Couldn't agree more!

For years I am collecting technical info on the Tigers. So, when this title was announced I did not really expect to find anything new in it.
The price tag also did not indicate anything special.
What a surprise when it arrived.
The book contains interesting interior and detail photos, drawings, personel comments and the restoration story of the bovington Tiger.
The photos and drawings are a bit small, but print quality is very good so even smaller details can still be seen.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in interior and workings of the Tiger.
For the price you can't go wrong.

I received mine on Tuesday and can't agree more a very good price for a top class reference book. I ordered from Amazon on the Friday and it arrived Tuesday - excellent!!!
