If you are a fan of Formula One racing, this is a "must-have".

I have a small collection of Autocurse grand prix annual from 1980 to 1997, I've just bought the 2009-2010 Edition. I can say it lived up to my expectations. The detailed coverage of each of the races is amazing, reading it is like watching the race again! It has a lot of good photos some of them are really fantastic.

I bought the book at the price of $34.95, now it is priced at $54.95! The price is a bit higher than other publications, usually it is worth to pay a bit more (like a 50% more) for this rather than the others. Last season was particularly exciting so the price might increase even more, my advice is to hurry up and buy it while it is still in your budget!

It is a great book with nice writing and great pictures!

I have been a long time Formula One fan and I have been purchasing "Autocourse" now for over 21 years and always look forward when the new one shows up on line for purchase. I highly recommend this book because of the recap and the photography is top notch. It reminds me of the season and even though I am a long long time fan of the Ferrari F1 team, the writer is very bias and dosen't favorite one team over the other and I like that. Like I said, even though I am a hard core Ferrari fan, I did enjoy Jenson Button winning the Formula One World Championship with the Brawn Team, before he went onto to the NUMBER ONE HATED McLaren Team. Sad to see him sign with that team but he is doing better than that whinning Hamilton character for a team mate.
