Similar in style to Philippe Brunel's classic, "An Intimate Portrait of the Tour de France" (not all of the pictures are of the racers during the race), except that the later photos are in color.
(My Listmania blurb on the book was in error, this is a good photographic history of the race, now an overview -- I was thinking of a different book.) |
