I got my copy from the Mclaren trust last month. It is a very good book. From what I have been led to believe Amazon will never have it even though they list it.

Amazon at least have it listed...

I know Amazon list it. They list every new book.
But in this case the publisher (Howden Ganley) isn't going to give any to Amazon for them to sell.
So if you do try to buy one from Amazon you will be waiting a bloody long time.

You can however buy one from the Mclaren Trust and have it delivered within days.

Well...maybe Howden should drop Amazon a note thanking them for listing the book but unthanking them for not referring people to the Mclaren Trust?

Here is a great review of The Road to Monaco by Allan Walton in the March 2015 issue of New Zealand Classic Car magazine.

Regarding Howden Ganley's enjoyable book, "The road To Monaco",

I just learned that the book has been shortlisted for the Publication Of The Year by

Quite and honor and much deserved.

It is the best new motoring book I have read in a long time.

[Mallory Dan]

Agreed with all of the above. I'm about half way through, its really excellent, and quite illuminating. I had no idea Howden came to the UK in the early 60s. Clearly a very skilled all round Technician/Engineer/Designer, never mind his talents at the wheel

Chaters also show the book as being in stock

Road to Monaco, I believe, is still around but I don't think there's many left of this terrific book. Just wanted to wish Howden a fantastic 80th birthday today.

A terrific chap who sees the best in everything and everyone.

[Doug Nye]

Absolutely right.  Top bloke, as they say.  Happy Birthday H.

I just finished re-reading his book, it's a very good one.
Happy Birthday Howden.

Agreed, its a brilliant read, he writes very well. And of course the subject matter is great - 60s to 80s racing.
