Wintertime reading......
« on: December 27, 2013, 08:56:20 am »
I'm looking for some opinions on some wintertime reading..... What books are decent in explaining roll centers, geometry, instantaneous centers, etc. and are applicable to legends cars. I have an engineering degree so they can be technical, just would rather buy one decent one than sifting through pages of descriptions of these books.

Thanks for any suggestions.
