I have some of J P Delsaux books on Francorchamps, Zolder, the Belgian Grand Prix, Brussels Grand Prix, and 100 ans de Sport Automobile belge.
They are in French. but good quality..

I like to buy the 1915 1930.. book about Racing released recently..
Hopes to fill a gap in my collection with it..
Has a member of this forum already recieved it?
Is it a good read?

I have bought the first two during the visit of the LM 24h.

It is one of planned 5 (from 1894--1953, he said he stops where Automobile Year starts (1953)).

Very nicely done with lots of photographs, circuit plans, programs and artwork. Each year is covered as a calendar of races (not complete).And don't expect huge result/entry tables...
He also offers interesting sidebars and timelines. As he has published this theme before (three books), the ETAI edited books are far more pleasing and professionnel..

Am I correct that the new J.P. Delsaux Racing History books 1894- 1914 and 1915-1929 are Softcovers and not Hardcovers?

No, the books are hard cover and beautifuly produced. Even if you have the original small-format softbacks they are well worth having.
