4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photos in an easy to read format, July 31, 1998
By A Customer
Excellent photos combines with an easy to read text. This book provides a good background and is a must for any Can Am or Jim Hall fan. If you can only have one Chaparral book Falconer/Nye version is preferred

5.0 out of 5 stars A PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF HISTORY OF THE MARQUE, May 13, 2003
By "burks74" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
Being a child of the sixties and growing up as a fan of sports car racing during that era, this book truly brings the personal side of Jim Hall and his Chaparrals to the fore-front. Jim Freidman does an exceptional job in his writing as well as candid photography of the racing team during that glorious period. With quotes from Hap Sharp, Phil Hill, Roger Penske, as well as scores of other great drivers, the reader becomes a part of racing history we will never see again.
Thank you Jim Hall for sharing your memories!

Very well done pictorial collection, but don't expect much more. The photo captions give a very shallow insight and historical account of this great race car. Read more
