book here,

http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/2847071237

this is the ultimate F1 book, with every track, intricate details of every team, every result, 1200 photos, etc....

be warned, the book comes in two volumes, which together weigh around 10lbs (not bed time reading)
i.e. Product Dimensions: 35.6 x 26.8 x 9.4 cm (book is almost 10cm high of thick glossy paper)

I managed to get the 2004 edition for around 10lbs

Any book that calls itself the "great encyclopedia", or the "ultimate encyclopedia", generally isn't as great or as ultimate as the title suggests.

Probably true but it's a decent book nonetheless. Lots of pictures you tend not to see anywhere else and full of facts and figures which of course go out of date with every passing race weekend.

I paid about 25 inches for mine.

It looks good actually. Just the title is a bit naff. I'll wait for a cheap copy to come along somewhere.

If it's out of print you might need to pay a few calories more for it.

Not quite! Its multipy by 1.6 for Alonso's. Remember he brings addition not subtraction... :lol: :lol: :lol:
