With the success of my Diana Vreeland ALLURE book, I went to the Friends of the Library sale here in my town last weekend. I bought about 25 books for $16.25. None were earth-shattering when I checked them out on Amazon and [tag]eBay[/tag]. Some were worth $20-$30 which is nice, but I wanted a bell ringer. The last one I pulled from the bag was this book. It was in a silver box when I pulled it off the shelf, and my son was losing his patience so I never looked at it. It was heavy and big and $1 - so I stuck it in my pile.
Turns out this book was brand new and flawless in the box. It's from 2001 and covers in extraordinary detail and quality, the [tag]24 Hours of Le Mans[/tag] race, including all the participants.
This could be the nicest copy of this book there is. It was evidently never opened since it sounded brand new when I took the photos. This is a great book. The printing is stunning, it's a nice heavy 230 pages, hardbound, and it is a little time capsule. It's a must for a [tag]Le Mans[/tag] fan.
Inside are teams like [tag]Saleen[/tag], [tag]Corvette[/tag], [tag]Bentley[/tag], [tag]Audi[/tag], [tag]Porsche[/tag], [tag]Callaway[/tag], [tag]Ascari[/tag], [tag]MG Sport[/tag] and Racing, and many more associated with what is known as the "Grand Prix of Endurance" - 24 Hours of Le Mans. There are copies on Amazon, and other places but none as nice as this one. They all indicate some shelf wear, but this one has never been on a shelf.
Let's see where this one ends up. [tags]grand prix,racing,formula one,F1[/tags]
