this is a great book – excellent photography, tells the story well in photos. very dynamic. print quality could be better, a lot better, but unless you spend much time reviewing high quality print jobs this probably won’t matter to you. certainly a good value.

This book is a wonderful book for those who weren’t lucky or rich enough to have bought all the Autocourse books from the period. Amazing how many great photos there are and in color!!

This book is basically a photography book, and that’s what it’s supposed to be. As a photography book it’s loaded with some great shots of cars, pilots and situations of the F1 circus in the 70’s. If you want more text or facts, this is not the book for you.

This book is a must-have for every fan of yesteryear’s Formula 1. Photos are of great quality and the texts summarize very well each season of the decade.
