Little Book of Land Rover (Little Books) This is an excellent book covering Land Rover from 1947 to date. Well researched and with good pictures on each page. Gives basic details of each model and tells how the various owners of Rover have developed the Land Rover rage . Strongly recommended as an introduction to Land Rovers.

This book doesn't claim to be the definitive guide to Land Rovers but gives a good basic introduction to the marque. For the price of a magazine what more could you ask for? Good value for money.
