DESCRIPTION:
Designed by David Costa, who created The Beatles Anthology.. By the end of his career, he had become racing's most famous and most adored celebrity. From his first race in 1948 to his last, heady days of the early 60s and beyond, his life and career unfold in great detail: the family history and school days; his start on the track and entrance into the big league; his experience driving for Mercedes; the private races; and the crash and recovery. Moss's tally of wins was proportionally higher than any other driver's, ever, by a wide margin. And, because the author enjoyed free range over every aspect of Moss's life, many of the amazing stories here have never been told before. Stirling Caulfield Moss drove professionally in nearly 500 races until his near-fatal crash in 1962. The first authorized biography--with over 350 color photos--of an extraordinarily gifted and competitive sportsma

A Living Ledgend. This is a wonderful book, I bought the paperback version that had very few photos compared to this book.It is a well written account of Sir Sterlings life which is amazing.He is a true living ledgend and the fact that he is still with us when the majority of his contemporaries are gone is amazing in itself.I was a little boy when Sir Sterling was racing but he was so impressive and such a talent that he was even famous here in the United States.I live just up the road From Watkins Glen where he raced several times and people st. A close-up look at one of the legends of the GP glory years. I began to follow auto racing shortly after the 1962 accident at Goodwood that ended Moss's racing career, so I cannot say that I was ever a fan of Moss, only an admirer after-the-fact (as I also was of the German driver, Count Wolfgang von Trips). And I must admit I'm a sucker for just about any book about the pre-1970s era of Grand Prix racing.This large, coffee-table-sized book tells Moss's story from beginning to end, not with an abundance of text, but with an abundance of photos, both black-and-white and color. Yes, there . Rantam said A good book about Stirling Moss. I bought this book at London some weeks a go. It's good book for those of you interested in this racing legend and that racing age (which I love, by the way). It's quite detailed, because it covers his racing career and some aspects of his personal life either.I'm not agree with the previous review in the point that, in my opinion, the book doesn't have so much pictures. It's the typical 'all text' book with some pages with pics that illustrate the full book. If I'm not wrong it doesn't have more than 10 of these pages with B&W
