This is an excellent source of information. Granted, you have to be a true fan of Jaguar racing cars, Le Mans, but it is a rich publication. As a lifelong model car builder, this is a wonderful source of photos and details that I use regularly.

To any lifelong Jaguar buff, the name LeMans has magical connotations and Paul Parker's book is quite simply the best that is currently available on Jaguar's legendary association with that hallowed race.
One particularly welcome feature of the book is how each year and it's events have their own individual chapters, from 1950 all the way to 1995. The two appendixes listing Jaguar's drivers and the second listing the cars and their drivers by year are also most welcome.
My only regret about "Jaguar at Le Mans" is that there were not any more color photos to illustrate the 1850s and 60s, instead of just the 80s and 90s races, this however is only a minor complaint in an otherwise superlative book. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it an 8 or 9 and only the lack of more color photography keeps it from being a 10. Despite this, "Jaguar at Le Mans" is a must -have for any Jguar racing buff. I heartily recomend it. Peter A. Marshall
