THE MILLER DYNASTY, by Mark Dees. 564 pages, well illustrated. Hardbound. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. ISBN 0-963-8084-0-0. Published by Hippodrome Publishing Company, P.O. Box 2460, Moor Park, CA. Distributed by Motorbooks International. Price: $150.00 plus $4.95 shipping and handling. The first edition of this book was sold out after being introduced in 1981. It represents 20 years of research of Mark Dees, who died in a traffic accident several years ago. This second edition adds 48 pages to the stunning accounts of Harry Miller's accomplishments in carburetion, engines, and race cars. Harry's designs and work were the basis for 39 winning Indianapolis cars. I wanted the first edition and looked for one for the past 5 years to no avail. This was worth the wait for the additional pages in the greatest book ever to be printed on the Miller Legacy. Old Cars Weekly had a small story stating that about 1,000 copies were available. This book is the ultimate fan guide for the followers of the greatest designer of racing's early years.
