Le Mans books: Official vs More Than 24 Hours
Simple question:
For the past two years there have been two books released covering the 2004 and 2005 events, an official one by the ACO and an unofficial one from a Dutch group. I am presuming that this (very expensive!!) situation will be repeated in 2006. What do you see as the merits for each? I will only buy one review book this year and want to make sure I end up with the best one. Help! |

I would say that unless you're a photographer or model-maker, you only really need the official one. "More Than..." has lots of very pretty pictures, but no real stats to speak of and certainly nothing that Moity and Teissedre haven't got.
A nice bonus, but not essential reading. |

Thanks Tim. I bought them both in 2004 but only the official one last year. I heard that the 'More Than' version had improved to be more than (boom, boom) a nice collection of photos. Maybe I'll look for a good deal to be had on eBay in the coming months.
