Excellent basic outline of the marque. Must read for those interested in a fleshed out summary of the highlights of Norton history.

Good over view of Norton if you know nothing of the brand.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very brief history
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2014

Very difficult to be critical of anything that cost less than a pound but the "book" is nothing more than a couple of paragraphs that skimmed over the subject. Very broad brush stuff

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a light article than a book
Reviewed in Australia on July 3, 2015

I had hoped for more from this book. It is almost an extended article and not a book. It is light on details of the actual bikes. The focus is on the company and how it evolved which it covers in a fast moving and limited account. With more research it could have been a great book. I might well have bought the other related books but now I think not. Pity, it is a topic I love!

3.0 out of 5 stars A very short story almost a long synopsis .

I chose to rate this three stars not for the content but because I considered it an abridged story of Norton.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor coverage of models

Focus on racing history and business issues.Minimal discussion of model characteristics- all very sketchy and disappointing- better to invest in one of the decent histories with more of a technical focus.
