Product Description
The ultimate guide to the world of Formula One at a critical moment in the sport's history. Every car and all the drivers since 1950 are described and illustrated in this stunning new book. The Complete Book of Formula One is the first ever encyclopedia covering all the cars and drivers that have raced in Formula One. The author has had the exclusive co-operation of the Haymarket LAT Archive, a collection of nine million outstanding motorsport images dating back to 1896. No other archive is as comprehensive, and many of the images in this book have never been seen before.

 Not so complete... October 4, 2008
I bought this book based on the "Complete" description. Yes, it does have hundreds of shots of cars throughout the history of the modern era of Formula 1 (1950-2007). Unfortunately, many of these images are of marginal quality or have been seen over and over in other publications. Granted, it is primarily a book of photographs, but I am particularly disappointed in the writing that accompanies each year's chapter. For example, the most recent season (2007) is reviewed in typical British tabloid-style about the McLaren cheating scandal. The verdict has long been in and I don't want to read that it was "circumstantial evidence" that caused poor McLaren to get kicked out of the constructor's championship and penalized with the $100,000,000 fine. McLaren's paying of Ferrari's legal fees (and more) as well as making a public apology pretty much puts paid to the "circumstantial" claim. Anyway, if you want to see a thumbnail photo of (nearly) every F1 car ever raced, this is your book. If you want a "Complete" book of Formula One, look elsewhere.

I bought this book for a friend for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. It gives a comprehensive view of Formula One from its inception. I recommend it for any Formula One enthusiast.
Formula-1 used to be the best car racing to watch and see..... October 4, 2005

If you really miss the good days of F-1, this is a great book to learn, to enjoy, to discuss, to dream, to get back in time, to smile, to think....
Great book, a must-buy for every F-1 fan. Nascar, CART, Indy fans should stay away from it. They wouldn't understand it.
I suggest the works of Mike Lawrence ( a great seasoned English journalist, specialist --oh god-- in Shakespeare and F-1) if you want to go deeper in F-1.
A must have for every Motor Racing enthusiast July 1, 2004

This book is truly worth it. It is a nice coffee table book that you would want to have if you are a real motor racing enthusiast (it's a bit heavy though).
It features (or it tries to feature) all the cars that the teams used from 1950 to 2002. Really spectacular! A must buy book for any Formula One fan. The downside of this book is that there are only a few writeups per year of formula one. More pictures, nice to look at when you're sipping coffee or tea
