I just wanted to share this information. I've been looking high and low for the above titled book online. Everywhere I looked the current 2nd edition was out of print. I finally found Vic Elford's website.Link

Anyway, I ordered the book almost a month ago and it finally arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the book itself. The title page was autographed and a signed photo was also inserted. AWESOME!

So, I want to pass this on to help the site out and also because the book is quite informative too. Especially for the many new owners that use this site.

Hi, thx for posting. I read this book and to be honest, I didn't like it much - I found it vague and not focused on actual driver inputs that make for better driving. The book I recommend to friends is Speed Secrets by Ross Bentley. Especially the couple chapters on cornering. It's a quick read and I found very articulate. Of course if you really want to learn about the traction circle, weight transfer, trail braking etc you need to get on a track, because to explore any of these on public roads is ludicrous
