Judging the book...

Sir, First, the inside of the new-look Motor Sport: the look is fine, as is the mix of articles. Indeed, the increased space for historic racing is welcome.

However, the cover — no! You say that you were forced into it; by whom? You say it’s to make it stand out on the shelves. I’ve got news for you… it doesn’t! The new cover merges into the rest on the shelves, whereas the old green stood out. So whoever forced you into it does not know their covers from their tag lines.

Oh yes, please also answer me this: why have you done this in the October issue and not waited for the start of a new volume? Those of us who have the magazine bound now have a totally ruined volume.
