Well I've only been a Classic Mini owner for 3 years. So what was the Italian Job and how does it relate to the Mini? Was it a movie or a special edition of the Mini?

So time will tell. Kind of like waiting for someone to pay for the parts they got from you.

There were stacks of them at IMM2019. I helped setup a second tent over the books to keep them dry during a downpour as the giant tent they were in was leaking. they were 45 pounds, and up to 95 depending on who signed the book. They were selling a lot of books.

It was a better price at Amazon - free shipping, no state tax, but seems like Porter Press UK didn't print enough to meet the demand. Looks like it is available from them at 45 GBP (around $55.00 US). But then there's shipping, handling, etc.
You can also go to their website and look at a few of the pages, and read the forward from Sir Michael.
