Description
John Haynes: The Man Behind the Manuals This biography tells the story of John H Haynes, the founder of Haynes Manuals, and his remarkable journey to create a global brand. From his childhood in Ceylon to his time as a young RAF officer, Haynes's life was marked by passion for motoring and entrepreneurship. The idea for his car repair manuals didn't emerge fully formed - it was sparked by a teenage project to restore an old Austin into a working sports car. This simple booklet became the foundation of a global brand, built on Haynes's vision and enthusiasm. The story of John Haynes and the Haynes family is one of business dynamics and evolution, exploring how a small company in rural Somerset grew into a British institution. This biography will appeal to motoring enthusiasts and anyone interested in the story behind a global brand.
