What makes any coffee table book a coffee table book are the photographs and illustrations, that is why they are large format. And that is why I enjoy these books. This volume does not disappoint in that area. Something about race cars, especially Formula One cars, is exciting, and if you've ever attended a race, they bring back the thunder as they pass your position. This book also includes a lot of pictures of the drivers, obviously since it is about the rivalries. It was great to see faces I had long forgotten and a few I don't recall at all even though I knew the name.
What sets this book apart from many large format books is the text. The rivalries are fun to read about, whether you remember them all or not. The writing is very good and had me looking for videos online to enhance the reading experience. This is the kind of book that would have been a fun read even if there had been fewer photographs but having a lot of beautiful pictures made it that much better.
In addition to Formula One fans, I think anyone who loves cars and/or the human side of any competition will find a lot here to enjoy.
