Even though I've read a slightly disheartening review here about the poor picture quality of the latest edition, I must say I can't share them. Of course there are some pictures that aren't pin-sharp, but what can one expect from the photo machinerey of the 1960s? Same time, lots of them are so sharp and colourful, which makes this album really exceptional amongst historical Formula 1 books. <br />Talking about pictures: in total there are 316 photos in the book but there are only around 50 showing non-British (or non-American) teams/cars/drivers. Which means that the book has a quite strong bias towards Anglo-Saxon F1 teams and drivers. But in the era of great British and Australian race car constructors, such as BRM, Lotus or Brabham, this is hardly a surprise! That is the only reason for my 4-star rating. <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 After buying and reading the 1970s and 1980s Formula 1 in Camera books, I could hardly wait for the third edition of this great photo album.

All pictures are blue (some red or green), no black color at all. It's inadmissible. I longed it for a month, but now I wish I hadn't bought it. <br /> <br />In other aspects I fully agree with previous reviewers.

Good coverage of the usual superstars - Clark, G. Hill, Surtees etc, but the lesser lights of the grid are also well represented. Highly recommended.

Many of the pictures are taken when the car and driver are working their hardest at the apex of the corner. The photos are of high quality considering they were taken over 40 years ago. There are also pictures of the drivers out of the car and interacting with the public and other crew members. There's lots of color photos at a variety of tracks. Definately worth the price.

It is essentially a picture book of F - 1 during the 1960's, a period of rapid change and domination by British drivers and machinery. Rating: 4 / 5 This book is for the F – 1 “golden era” fan.
