You can safely buy everything Smith has ever written and learn a lot from it.

I've bought a lot of books from them, very cheap and lots to choose from.

Boxed set for the win- $100 US plus shipping for every book he wrote.
Jsut noticed the sae released a compilation he was working on when he passed away, photocopies of 15 sae papers on chassis and suspension design. $100 just for that! They're acting like it's a 'tribute' to him. Wankers...

I can only add a 'me too' for the recommendations on his tune to win, engineer to win, drive to win and screw to win (which is possibly 'actually' listed as the book on fasteners)
Drive to win is probably the most amusing (though the humour is likely subtle and mild for most people's tastes, I liked it) and for 95% of us if we were only allowed one of his books, tune to win would be the one. there's absolutely bugger all in it that is 'dated'. Perhaps a little about tyre and shock absorbers, but it's very obvious as to where things have headed, and how to still be able to optimally apply everything he discusses in a modern context. Absolutely brilliant.

I just looked for an email from a bloke and found it- I'd forgotten it completely!
It really is awesome. The basis of it is open wheel cars from the eighties which is what Carroll was doing as a race engineer, however, the gist of it is true for all motorsport cars.
Glad you enjoyed it!
