There's the Frank Clements book about Falcon. Chronicles the shambles that was Falcon lol buy it with any change left over

Thanks midlife, sounds interesting. I am looking for books about development, company's or touring rather than racing too. Id like one about Raleigh, Tony Hadland has one but £200 is a bit beyond my budget.

May not be quite what you're after but the Rough Stuff Fellowship Archive is a great coffee table book with plenty of social history:
