Google gets more formidable everyday as a valuable fact finder, assuming one can trust the source. One of these years, it may replace both personal and private libraries.
But not quite yet. Despite our penchant to use Google, one of our most effective, fastest, most accurate and comprehensive sources of information are two huge volumes edited by G.N. Georgano: The Complete Encyclopedia of the Motorcar, (1973) and The Encyclopedia of Motor Sport (1971). Even though millions of individuals have been loading the Internet with information for roughly 20 years and is remarkably complete in itself, one still has a tough time finding anything on the Econom or F.D. But there they both are in the pages of Georgano. His landmark words are with me always, and very battered and beaten but still eminently serviceable. Take that, Serge!
