#1 Is there a definitive reference book on the E Type?

Hi

New here,

Is there a definitive, a bible if you will, history and reference book regarding the E Type?
If you can only purchase one book, what would you recommend?

Thank you in advance.

The most recent is pretty damn good. It has contributions information and photos from, amongst others, Ian Howe, Chuck Hadley, Henry Pearman and Philip Porter.

Importantly, it builds on all previous E-Type "bibles".

Excellent, thank you Chris,

is that a 1:8 scale E Type in your photo with a 1:1 scale?

Lovely, I missed the DeAgostini 1:8 E Type when it came out years ago but recently started the Agora Models 1:8 E Type Roadster.
