Aston Martin: A Racing History 
Product Description: This handsome volume provides a detailed account of Aston Martin’s fascinating and checkered motor racing history. Clearly setting out its evolution through various ownerships, the author recalls the company’s diverse racing record, which began in 1919 and ran uninterrupted – war years apart – until 1963. The modern era is also covered, as Aston Martin returned to sports car racing in 2005 with the DBR9. Superbly illustrated throughout, this book records with authority the successes and failures of one of the giants of British sports car racing.
Customer Ratings: - I love this book. This is a detailed and authorative history of Aston Martin racing..... a must have for any Aston Martin enthusiast. A great book well worth the modest price.
- GOOD FOR A HISTORY BUFF....NOT SO GOOD FOR A FAN. THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS TO SEE (hopefully) SOME GOOD UP CLOSE COLOR PHOTOS- ESPECIALLY OF THIS MODERN ASTON TEAM THAT IS DOING WELL. WHAT I GOT WAS 300+ PAGES OF HISTORY AND MAYBE 12-16 PAGES OF COLOR PICS....AND MOSTLY OF OLDER ASTONS. THE REST <<>> BLACK AND WHITE AND THOROUGHLY UNENJOYABLE. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT ASTON HISTORY- PONY UP THE $40. IF YOU WANTED GOOD HIGH QUALITY PICS AND TO LEARN ABOUT A MODERN ASTON , BECAUSE MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANNA BUY ONE LIKE ME- THIS AINT THE SOURCE. IF YOU VE SEEN THE VICTORY BY DESIGN DVD ON ASTON- THIS BOOK MIRRORS IT- 47 MINUTES OF HISTORY AND THE LAST 1-2 MINUTES OF ALAIN DE CADENET WALKING UP TO AND DRIVING AWAY IN A NEW CONVERTIBLE. I CAN T KNOCK THE BOOKS INFO SIDE AS I HAVEN T READ ONE WORD- BUT THIS IS NOT A BOOK TO HELP YOU OGLE THE CARS VIA PICS.
