Published in 1980 (I think it was) The AA Book of Driving. Good read from what I can remember.

Actually, that's reminded me of one I have. Is it a large paperback, heavily-illustrated, with a black and white 'smashed glass' design on the cover? If so, yes, very good.
Your 'standard' is how you drive alone, not how you drive during a test.

Blue was a good edition of Roadcraft but as to what else was available, "High-Performance Driving for You", "Prevent or Punish" and "Putting My Foot Down"
TBH, hadn't seen those then, not seen or heard of them until now.

HPDFY is good - written by Tom Wisdom, [one of the] founder[s] of the HPC course.
Putting My Foot Down is amusing, but not really a reference work
not heard of Prevent or Punish - John, do you mean this?:

Re: Book Promotion
Abebooks is the platform of choice usually. Most of the eBay items are on AB as well.

Re: Book Promotion
As people probably know already, AbeBooks was taken over by Amazon some time ago.
