The Golden Age of Formula 1 Hardcover – March 15, 2017

A beautifully done homage to the men, women and machines of Formula 1's early years. The photographs are amazing and many I would love to have on the wall of my study, many of Jimmy Clark, my adulthood idol whom I never saw race but quickly admired through the stories and photos like these. Many candid and revealing looks at the true heros and courageous, talented men who drove spectacular looking cars when the sport was insanely dangerous. It is a pictoral history of the era with great shots of most if not all of the era's greats. A must have for fans of Formula 1 of any era; before the Ecclestone's and corporate types homogenized the sport. I love it still but this book reminds me how and why my love started. Cannot recommend highly enough. By the way, if anyone knows how to purchase any of the photos, please reply to [email protected]. Thanks.

I lived the early golden years of formula 1, the 50's to mid 70's, in awe of these drivers, the cars and the builders. They were my heros. This book is a beautiful work that honors the era from the 60's on and the photography of Schlegmilch. I cannot resist just picking it up to look at or read any page, every day.

If you think you have enough coffee table books or picture albums of Grand Prix drivers and/or their cars... you don't.. not until you have this book.After that , you may not feel the need to buy another album for a long time. I have a half dozen or more books that feature Rainer Schegelmilch's stunning portraits of the 1960s , but nothing to date to surpass this. Enough said.

This book focuses on the drivers but also includes clear photos of the cars of the period. It is all black and white photos that are captioned. Printed in Italy, it is good quality with a matte finish paper. If you are a F1 nerd, you will enjoy this book.

if you're a fan of the Jim Clark era of F1 then you will love the photos in this book. Everyone wanted to borrow this book from me. I hadto really keep my eye on it for fear of loosing it.

This book has some great photographs and insights to go along with them. If you're a fan of F1 or any motor racing, this has some great quality photos and a great addition to your collection.
