Can anyone recommend a good book covering the history of Le Mans, from as far back as possible?

I’m kind of taken with the Quentin Spurring books, which, whilst I’m sure are excellent, at £30-50 per decade, would add up to a bit more than I’d like to spend!

'Le Mans 24 Hours' by Brian Laban if you cab find a copy at a reasonable price, published in 2001 though so not bang up to date

I’d 2nd this. Good book with plenty of detail but could do with new updated edition.
