This review is from: Le Mans 24 Hours: The Complete Story of the World's Most Famous Motor Race (Hardcover)
As a fan of Le Mans, I had been looking forward to reading this book for some time. I was very pleased when I finally did. I have read numerous books on Le Mans through the years, but this is absolutely the best. Some tend to be too laborious, but Laban's book strikes a near perfect balance in its quest to cover the whole history of Le Mans since 1923. It kept me engaged throughout as I discovered details that I hadn't known, yet it was perfect for anyone who is even casually interested in this great and historic race. At a very reasonable price with great photos and organized text that enabled the reader to keep up with details. I loved the size and the layout and the quality of stock was spot on. Again, absolutely the best book on Le Mans.
