Scope: An illustrated history celebrating "Rolls-Royce, 1004-2004: A Century of Innovation." The historic text written by Peter Pugh and the book is edited by David Howie.
From page 1: "Rolls-Royce is one of the world's great brands. It began as a car company but became so much more. But how did it all begin? Who were Rolls and Royce? How did the people within this great company take on many of the engineering and pioneering challenges of the last century and not only succeed but achieve them before anyone else? They made Rolls-Royce one of the most famous names in the world of engineering.
Their story is told here, not so much in words but more in the pictures. Most of these images are drawn from the archives of the Rolls-Royce company and they speak for themselves."
