"A NIGHT AT THE ARCHIVES" OR "THROUGH THE PAST HEARTILY" . . . . MIKEEY RAT HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH OBSESSED WITH COLLECTING OLD AUTOMOTIVE BOOKS AND MAGS FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS . . . . THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE'VE SPENT READING IN HIS MAN CAVES DURING THAT PERIOD COULD RUN INTO YEARS . . . . THUMBING THROUGH THESE GEMS FROM THE DAYS BEFORE INTERNET AND INSTANT GRATIFICATION . . . . EJAMAKAYSHUNAL.

WHEN I WAS A KID 'WHITMAN BOOKS' PRODUCED THE "BIG LITTLE" SERIES WHICH WERE AMONG MY FAVOURITE READING MATERIAL, STILL GOT EM SOMEWHERE, MIKEEY WAS TAKING ME THROUGH A COUPLE OF THEIR OTHER RELEASES ON FRIDAY NIGHT, PURE PERIOD PERFECTION, FROM THE DAYS WHEN DIGGERS AND OTHER F.E.D's RULED THE ROOST AND EVERYTHING WAS BRAND NEW . . . . HONEST AND WHOLESOME LIKE SHIT USED TO BE BEFORE IT WAS ALL REPACKAGED AS SMARMY, SMARTARSE ADVERTISING BUMFODDER, YOU NEED TO SEEK THIS STUFF OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T CLAPPED EYES ON IT, WRITTEN FOR MALE ADOLESCENTS OF THE DAY GOING APESHIT FOR NITRO INJECTED THRILLS, IT'S STILL WORTH THE READ.
