Petrolhead books - Le Mans

[PurelyRetro]

Hello PH collective,

I was wondering if you could recommend me some decent petrolhead books to read, I decided to buy The Best of Car Magazine: 1970s and 1980s as well as Clarkson's Motorworld. Is there any others you think I should get hold of, such as a Le Mans story or the alike?

Cheers

Please no Hamilton related books,more a fan of Button

Four motorsports ones off the top of my head:

The Life of Senna: Tom Rubython
Classic Motorsport Routes: Richard Meaden
Speed Addicts - Grand Prix Racing: Mark Hughes
Monaco Grand Prix: Michael Hewett

I saw it in Asda at the weekend for a fiver, I should have bought it but I was reeling from the sheer amount of stuff we'd already put in the trolley by that point.

I quite fancy this as well: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autodrome-Lost-Race-Circui...

Good read this one;

I have read this book several times, more of an interest if you are into engineering / construction and legislation of car manufacturers than driving per se.
