Le Mans 1980-89: The Official History Of The World's Greatest Motor Race Hardcover – Illustrated, September 15, 2014

This volume is one of those rare books that is thoroughly enjoyable by both casual Le Mans enthusiast, and the die-hard sports-prototype racing fanatic (such as myself!). For the more casual reader, the text with each photo will be informative without being "boring" (though how racing can possibly be bo.....sorry, I digress!), keeping interest up from cover to cover. For the more informed and dedicated reader, the above-mentioned text is NOT lightweight and "fluffy," making it enjoyable for them as well. And the accompanying charts and tables make each years race clear as a bell. And the detail in the lists and tables is enough to keep us (me again!) more rabid fans happy. This book has not stayed on my bookshelf for more than 2 days straight since I purchased it. And the topper for both casual and die-hard fans is the photography. Every shot in this book is first-rate. The composition, focus, subject matter.....all are exceptional. The photos are superb, and finish this volume in a way as to make it totally enjoyable. I have just finished ordering the 1970-79 volume, and plan to acquire the rest of the collection as I can fit them into the budget.

Yes

Fantastic photos, and some good histories.
