A nicely presented book from the publishers of the excellent yearly Autocourse annual. Lots of pictures to look at covering 4 decades of motorsport photography from Nigel Snowdon and Diana Burnett. However all the pictures in the book are black and white, which is a bit of a shame. There is a bonus in that there are comments from the photographers regarding particular pictures (where, why, when and how etc..) redeem this somewhat. A nice addition to the motorsport and formula 1 collection.

A great piece for F-1 book collector.Almost all of the N.Snowdon and D.Burnett photos are superb, especially from the 60's and 70's. The text for each photo is very accurate. Some photos are very rare and even sensational. This is a book that really could be the double or even the triple of the 160 pages with +/- 250 photos. The some confuse layout of contents and the lack of some years of the 4 decades are the weak points of this fascinating book.

This was a Christmas gift and I found this book to be a good book on the history of Formula 1. Some of the other reviewers made comments about the amount of black and white photos in this book but you have to remember that those were state-of-art. Although color photography has been around for a while, it wasn't until the mid 1960s that the average joe could afford 35 mm color cameras. This book is a good reference book and a welcome addition to my autoracing memorabilia collection.
