Your book with the road tests has a nice list of many road tests and what magazine they were published in and the dates.  I used that book to help me find those road tests but t there were many more than what they listed.  It is good reading!

It is good reading because of it's period nature. What was important back then differs some from what we find important and KF cars were generally praised for their road manners quite a bit. It's a worthy book to add to a KF literature collection. 

The thing with KF literature is there isn't much out there. I think I have most of the "good" stuff and it has been a pleasure reading about the company and it's products.

Last call on the Langworth book. These have been out of print and virtually unavailable for years, priced typically in poor condition from $45 to $150. This one is signed by the author. 

I personally have enjoyed reading Langworth over the years from his books to his Collectible Automobile articles. I first read his work in 1979 in Car Collector magazine, a Peterson publication - maybe called Car Classics back then, can't remember.
