Book of the Austin  - A Practical Handbook covering the following models 

  • Austin A30
  • Austin A40
  • Austin A70
  • Austin A90

The book refers to the Seven (A30), Dorset, Hampshire, Hereford, Coupe, Sports, Countryman, Delivery Van, and Pick Up.  It does not mention the Devon or Somerset but it does mention the Dorset so maybe some editor did not understand the models in the A40 Range?

This technical guide was published by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd.  This publisher produced a long list of technical books in their "Pitman's Motorists Library" series. The first were published in the 1920s and they were reprinted and revised and new ones were introduced right up to the 1970s. They all contain enough information to enable the owner driver to service and maintain their vehicle.

They are all well illustrated and contain routine maintenance and trouble tracing, engine work, fuel systems, ignition systems, electrical systems and lubrication. They were an essential book for the do it youself mechanic at the time and can still be very useful today
