They have the best covers. I would buy a book that featured all the covers.

Terry,

This is a very interesting and informative summary of the Spitfire XII: development, use (service time), missions, etc. It summarizes the history of the two main units (41 and 91 Squadron) that used it (Squadron usage); victories and losses on the Spitfire XII for both units (with dates, serial numbers and codes). A brief history of the second-line units that used the Spitfire XII. A simplified register of assignments according to serial numbers (engine type: Griffon III or IV, delivery date, units, and code). Several photos (aircrafts and pilots) and two profiles.
A very interesting book well condensed; 30 pages but very precise and precious...
Personally, this book helped me resolve my problem regarding the Spitfire XII MB831 flown by R. H. Harries during the summer of 1943. Curiously/oddly, it seems that this Spitfire had two different codes between May and September 1943 within 91 Sqn...

That would suggest it was withdrawn from service for some reason (repair or mods or major service most likely) and that another aircraft was assigned its letter.
