Different (I believe). This is a massive slip-cased tome charting the 100 years by Teissedre and Villemant.

Hmmm, wonder if the other half would mind here. She's already got me started with the hat at Christmas and then the 100th mug at "second Christmas" so I have the office collection starting.

Yeah, she's gonna spend 125-150k this year on a bakery so......
Holy crap they are a bunch of "official" books out there now aren't there? One comes out this spring listed on that jungle website https://a.co/d/1CUqQ0L, looks interesting. Found a few of your book online, looks to be low $100s and very tempting |

If you can put your hands on a pair of those, you could be happy with. Christian Moity, Jean-Marc Teissedre and my old bloke Alain Bienvenu are serious people in this field. https://www.abebooks.fr/servlet/Book...iABEgK4BvD_BwE
A real must have, imo. |

Quite pleased to see the price they quote for a used copy of that book you mention, as that alone is what I paid for the whole selection including auction fees. It was also 15 minutes away to pick them up so no delivery charge either. Edit: just noticed the book I have must be an earlier issue.... it only goes to 1982, whereas the one you linked goes to 1992. Still a great book though. The Brian Laban book on the right of the group pic is also brilliant and has fab photos, many double page. Last edited by E.B; 10 Jan 2024 at 11:26. Reason: added |

There were a couple of other non Le Mans books I got through the same auction, both large coffee table sized books, hardcover and beautifully illustrated.
"Great Auto Races" and also "Power and Glory" |

Great books, E.B. If I mentioned Alain Bienvenu it's because I know him quite well, we wrote a "Ferrari road cars" books using our four hands. He's much appreciated by the drivers too. Good bloke, knowledgeable and serious about his sources.
