FOR PREVIOUS EDITION: With clear, instructional text and plenty of illustrations and diagrams throughout, this book is commendably easy to follow and a boon to any MGB owner with something of a hands-on approach.- Classic Car Mart
This book would certainly seem to be essential reading for every MGB owner as it comprehensively covers every electrical system in the four-cylinder cars. More than just a 'how to' book, it also explains a lot of the theory behind the practice. As well as comprehensive wiring diagrams and full-colour illustrations the book offers helpful advice on improving the electrical systems and replacements for unavailable or expensive parts. All B fans need a copy. - Classics Monthly
This extensive, full-colour step-by-step guide covers charging, ignition systems, relays, fuel pumps, wipers, instruments and lighting in great depth. - Classic & Sports Car
Colour-coded circuit diagrams and hundreds of original photos make it easy to use, and handy advice comes in the form of suggested alternatives for unavailable or expensive repairs and plenty of ideas for improved electrical performance. - Retro Cars Magazine
The detail is so great and clearly written, that anyone should be able to work through most of their electrical problems and finally let those tired old Lucas jokes be put to rest. If you have a holiday wishlist to fill out, I would make sure that Rick's new book is at the top of it. - MGB Driver
If you are restoring an MGB or feel the need to improve or modify its wiring, this is the book to buy. - Classic Car Weekly

A lot more comprehensive than your average manual. --- Hemmings Sports & Exotic
