This is by far the best $10 I’ve ever spent on anything. I’ve been a photojournalist for 40 years and appreciate good photography. This has it in spades. I was hoping for at least 8×10 format, but I wanted to see what this looked like (I can’t pass on anything Dan Gurney). I was not disappointed.

The photography is excellent and the book provides a beautiful, succinct, and—with Dan’s and Evi’s help—authoritative narrative.

Honestly, if you have any of the interests above, you’d be hard pressed to find a better use for $10.
