This is the large format 2005 Dakini Books edition measuring 17 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches -- not to be confused with the much smaller and lighter HarperCollins Willow trade edition or later Dakini or other reprints. This, the first edition, was a special edition sold through Dakini's distribution partner SPEED TV. Near fine copy in near fine dust jacket in near fine illustrated slipcase. Minor nicks to edges of slipcase and dust jacket. Boldly signed by SPEED Channel Formula 1 Analyst Steve Matchett (who contributed the foreword) and additionally signed by his colleagues David Hobbs and Bob Varsha. 316 pages, chiefly illustrations, chiefly in color. Embossed black cloth binding. ********** From the publisher's description: Fangio, Moss, Clark, Stewart, Lauda, Hunt, Mansell, Senna, Schumacher - the very names evoke images of speed, drama and total dedication to a sport that arguably requires more skill and courage than any other. From the 1950s to the present era these matadors of speed have been drawn like moths to a flame as they risk their lives in the unrelenting pursuit of excellence. But what makes the men in the cockpits drive themselves to the limits of human endurance? Who are the people behind the drivers whose passion and dedication to pursuing their dreams makes Formula 1 happen? Written by Mark Hughes, described as 'F1's Hemingway,' Speed Addicts delves deep into the psyche of motor racing. Touching on personal, technological and commercial aspects, it brings together every facet of this incredibly complex and utterly compelling sport. The book won the Prix du Livre Sportif Illustre in Monaco and the Best Illustrated Title at the British Sports Book Awards in 2006.…
