Transport & Engineering Biography & Memoir Travel & Exploration
Harry Hickling’s 2008 hardcover To Finish Is To Win The First Ever Pre War MG To Travel From offers an engaging blend of autobiography, travel writing, and classic‑car history, appealing to both young adult and adult readers interested in transportation, engineering and true‑story memoirs. The book’s 176 pages explore pre‑war MG adventures with vivid detail that makes it a standout title in the biographies & true stories and automotive genres.
The volume is signed on the front pages by Harry Hickling and his wife, adding a personal touch for collectors, while an inscribed page shows light yellowing that is noted as part of the overall condition. Aside from this minor aging, the book is clean, tidy, free of dog‑ears, and retains a tight binding from a smoke‑free home.
Overall, this non‑fiction work is a solid addition for anyone building a collection of transportation history, classic‑car memoirs, or modern travel literature, and its signed front pages enhance its appeal without compromising its excellent preservation.
