Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Paul Sheldon, author of the "Complete Record..." series? Thanks in advance!

I think the best way would be to write to him at St Leonards Press, 4 Station Road, Esholt, Shipley, West Yorkshire, UK.
This is just a guess, but I have always had the sensation that St Leonards Press might well be his own company...

That is correct, Felix. Betty Sheldon is the dynamo behind that part of the operation and quite an expert herself. I often wish that she would translate many of the GP reports that are in Italian into English (whatever Italian language capabilities I had are now pretty much gone) to provide a counter-balance to what many of us are exposed to from the English-speaking press. Personally, I find most of the GP reporting of the 20's & 30's, the late 40's to the late 50's in the English racing press to be usually little more than chauvinistic moaning & groaning, by Jingo. I do remember as a youngster being amazed by the vast differences in what the German, English, & Italian journals "reported" about the races. It was often difficult to realize that they discussing the same races. No English drivers or cars, or they were merely grid-fillers, no interest. Then again, some of the Italian reports were essentially the opposite side of the coin and one grew weary of all the touting of Maserati or Ferrari or Lancia to the nth degree - well, almost at any rate...

Given a choice, I would vote for the translations any day!
Until they wasted away through lack of use, I was once able to read German extremely well, Italian almost as well, and French & Spanish reasonably well (& Russian, but that is another story...). As mentioned, I grew up reading the race reports in various languages and can still recall how different some if them were - the Italian coverage of the races in the late 50's generally ignored the aspects that the British reports covered, and so on. As far as that goes, some of the contemporary reports I recall reading on the prewar events in German were pretty creepy at times....

Talking about creepy German, I taped a program from local TV a couple of years back called Sieg Heil Meistershaft, which was a subtitled TV film about the 1939 Grand Prix season by the Mercedes team. It was very much a propaganda piece on about German engineering, and it was interesting the way they almost forgot to mention the fact that Dick Seaman won for them - not being German, he couldn't be used for propaganda.

Thanks Barry, that was a useful list. I'd been meaning to do it myself to see what was missing from my set. The one that intrigues me is the Addenda volume. I have received Addenda SHEETS, which were issued with early volumes of the Record, but I was not aware of a specific book of addenda. Can you confirm its existence and, if so, how many pages is it? If it does exist it goes to the top of my 'must have' list.
I can add a further volume to your list, its titled
Formula 1 and Formula 2 Fact Book 1979-81. I haven't cross-referenced it, but the information is probably the same as the first half of Volume 11, though it may be less comprehensive and accurate as I believe it was issued earlier.

The Goodwood reference is
A Record of Motor Racing at Goodwood in 2 volumes
It was written by Robert Barker in a limited edition of 100 signed copies. It consists of 350 pages in a green binding with gold lettering and comes in a matching slip case. The price is 150 pounds.
Hey Paul, for all that publicity do I get a free copy?

Tony, there were F1 & F2 Fact books for every year IIRC, before the "Black Books" appeared. They contained bare statistics with no narrative and are superseded by the newer "Record" books. I have a few as well, and without checking in detail the information is the same.
As for the Addenda, I have two copies of 83 pages each, sent to me with Volumes 9 & 10 respectively. Prior to that Paul sent me Addenda sheets as well. I did not receive any Addenda with the latest Volume, probably because I did not order it directly from Paul.
Barry, the Formula 3 Fact Book series has three volumes up to 1964, they are: 1947-1952, 1953-1955 and 1956-1962.
Looking at the list, I feel pretty blessed in that I own all of these books except the South African, Tasman, Hillclimb, F5000, Goodwood and eight of the F3 books. However, most of them are on my "want list". No need to praise them anymore!

I have a copy of the Formula 1 Register Fact Book 1989 by Sheldon, Rabagliati and DeLaGorce. It is soft-covered and spiralbound. It was published in 1990, and contains the entry lists and results from all F1, Indycar, F3000 and F3 races from 1989.
The idea for this book was, according to the introduction, to act as a fill-in until the big hardbacks caught up to 1989. I'm willing to trade this book with anyone who is interested.
I was surprised to see a copy of Vol.5 (1950-1953) of the hardback series in a local used bookshop recently for sale at the princely sum of 5 UK Pounds (less than US$8). I have the proprietor's email address, so if anyone is interested, Private Message or email me, and I'll send you the details (he ships Worldwide).

I have just discovered that I have the remains of a previously mutilated copy of an Addenda volume.
The good news for anyone collecting Paul Sheldon's wonderful volumes is that you don't need to get all of the Addenda sheets and volumes. Each new edition simply added to the previous one, so the most recent issue has all of the corrections and additions featured in earlier versions. It even corrects earlier corrections!
The Addenda apply only to the Record of Grand Prix and Voiturette Racing volumes. I have never seen Addenda for the Formula 3, Junior, 5000, Tasman, South African or Hillclimb books.

My copy of the Addenda was published in 1995. I received it (after the usual six weeks-plus sea voyage) in May 1996.
It has 83 pages and black card covers which match the hard covers in look and size of the hard cover volumes.
I find it sheer hell to follow - and do we always remember to check it against results in the hard cover books?
Clearly, this sort of thing should be recorded electronically these days for easy updating.
I do not know whether or not there have been any addenda published since.
Thak you everyone for your contributions.
Would it not be clever for Sheldon to arrange a message posted to this forum whenever he produces something new?

Being miserly with money (Felix will vouch for that), I was somewhat wary of paying the £55 per book asked by Chaters for the tomes by Paul Sheldon. On an off chance, I went to altavista.co.uk and the shopping bit, and clicked on books. There, I entered Paul Sheldon, and up came a list of books, including the famous Record of GP & Voiturette racing, from between £34.85 and £51.23, depending on the source (this included p&p within the UK). I recommend that you use this facility for book purchases in future.
Unfortunately, some of the titles do not give the volume number, but they do let you see the ISBN number before purchase. Here is a list of ISBN numbers to help you make you decisions:-
Vol 1, 1900-25 - ISBN 0-9512433-0-6
Vol 2, 1926-31 - ISBN 0-9512433-3-0
Vol 3, 1932-36 - ISBN 0-9512433-7-3
Vol 4, 1937-49 - ISBN 0-9512433-8-1
Vol 5, 1950-53 - ISBN 0-9512433-2-2
Vol 6, 1954-59 - ISBN 0-9512433-1-4
Vol 7, 1960-64 - ISBN 0-9512433-6-5
Vol 8, 1965-69 - ISBN 0-9512433-9-X
Vol 9, 1970-73 - ISBN 0-9526050-0-7
Vol 10, 1974-78 - ISBN 0-9526050-5-8
Vol 11, 1979-84 - ISBN 0-9526050-6-9
I've just purchased Vol 1 from http://www.specialistbooks.co.uk for £34.85 via this shopping facility, so have fun!

That got your attention
Ok, for those who have Sheldon's books, he does have a record of mid-late 60's F3 racing...correct?
If so, or through any other source, does anyone have any info on an Icelandic driver named Severir Thoroddeson. A mention in an issue of the U.S. weekly, Competition Press & Autoweek had a review of the 1966 F3 season which also had an eye toward 1967. In it, Thoroddeson was mentioned as a driver that had improved greatly during the season...so much so that based on his last half season he would be ranked as a favorite for 1967, excepting that he probably wouldn't be at the F3 level that long.
So my question, does anyone know whatever became of him? When does he last turn up? I really didn't run across mention of him after that.

You (or Competition Press & Autoweek) haven't got the name quite right. It was closer to Sverrir Thorroddsson but even that might not be quite right. I seem to remember he was around the UK racing scene a while longer, but my hazy memory doesn't stretch to what he raced - sportscars maybe?

David, thanks. I took pains to make sure I spelled it exactly the way CP/A did.
The only info I found on him was a second or third at Enna/Pergusa and a similar finish at a Monza F3 race.
Along the lines of the thread on Roy Pike (who I realize had far greater accomplishments than the Icelandic driver), I'm always curious when a driver who has good performance or praise just sort of fades away or disappears.

Collectors of the Sheldon Black Books will know that Vol 3 (1932-36) is, with vol 7, much more difficult to find than the rest of the series. I heard today that Chris Knapman (Collector's Carbooks) has a copy for sale. I know this because some time ago I registered with his book search service. I have, however, since obtained a copy elsewhere. He is currently keeping it for me, but I wil let him know tomorrow that I no longer require it.

Thanks for the info, Roger.
I was very fortunate to purchase that book directly from the publishers shortly before they ran out. I believe I have #484, IIRC. One of my best-ever purchases.

Hi everybody,
Is there someone here who have some of these books for sale ?
I look for Bugatti Books, Alfa Romeo 8C books (the one of Angela and the Simon Moore one's).........
I'm also looking for the Sheldon books for the 20's and 30's area....
Kind regards,
Julien

Try Chaters for Cherrett. The second edition may still be in stock.
Moore's 2.3 has been put on eBay with starting bids under the editor's price.
Still not cheap, but worth it.

Out of curiosity, has anyone connected with the Formula One Register been compiling an update listing of addenda to the various Black Books over the years?
One would imagine that in many cases the need for a Mark 2 version of the original volumes, just from what has been gathered from TNF over the years much less what has surfaced from other sources.
My volumes are fairly well marked up in many cases....
