This was put out by Brooklands, a British publishing house some years ago.  It is a collection of old magazine articles, mostly road tests from American and British magazines.  It does include the 1949 Frazer and 1951 HJ tests done by AUTOCAR and MOTOR, two leading British car magazines of the day.  It was sold for a time by various literature vendors in the USA and I believe at present, it is out of print.

You will find little in the way of actual company history within its pages, but if you are interested in the road tests from magazines, it could be a less expensive route compared to buying the actual original magazines.

It has about thirty five copies of original road tests from magazines in the US and England during Kaiser- Frazer's years and many are very interesting and if you collect the originals many are very hard to find.  It does not have all of them as I have at least fifteen that they do not list and I am sure that there are many more to be discovered.  If you can find a copy for around $20.00 it is an interesting read.

Road Tests are on my list of things to post on CIRCLEKF.COM ... So much to share ... So little time!!  I agree with Gordie some of them are very interesting to read.  I won't be posting the book but rather the original old docs I have collected.
