The Right stuff is the only one of his books I have read, it is excellent. The electric kool aid acid test is one I've been meaning to get, will get that one as well I think.

Looks like I can get them from the same supplier that I get my CarTech books from, although they're currently 'reprinting', so not available until sometime later this month.. might grab a copy for myself if it's a recommended read?!

The books a collection of essays he wrote, the title comes from one of these essays that was published in Esquire magazine in 1963. You can read the whole magazine article here: https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/cars/ ... line-baby/

When you click to see the rest of the article it comes up with the magazine pages from 1963, including the adverts which is quite cool.
