A propos de cet article

Speed with Style: The Autobiography of Peter Revson, Peter Revson and Leon Mandel â" 1st Edition Publication: London, William Kimber, 1974. Formatting: 8vo, pp. 220. Condition Report: Very Good. The publisher's original black cloth binding remains tight, square, and robust, with sharp corners and brilliant gilt lettering to the spine that is entirely free from oxidation. The text block is structurally sound, though the top edge exhibits moderate spotting and light age-toning, a common attribute for the paper stock of this era. Internally, the pages are clean, bright, and free from major blemishes, tearing, or prior ownership inscriptions. The original, unclipped dust jacket is excellently preserved within a protective sleeve, showing only negligible shelf-wear to the extremities and no significant sun-fading or chipping, presenting as a highly attractive example. Catalogue Note: First UK Edition. Originally published in the United States by Doubleday, this William Kimber imprint marks the first appearance of Revson's autobiography in the British market. The book is illustrated with several sections of black-and-white photographic plates that chronicle Revson's racing career and personal life. It remains a highly sought-after title among motor racing historians and collectors of Formula One literature, becoming increasingly uncommon on the open market in such well-preserved condition with an intact, unclipped dust jacket. Completed merely days prior to his tragic death at Kyalami in 1974, Speed with Style is the candid and compelling autobiography of American racing driver Peter Revson. Co-authored with acclaimed automotive journalist Leon Mandel, the narrative offers an unflinching look at Revson's 1973 season, a year of triumph and immense pressure, while simultaneously exploring his privileged background as heir to the Revlon cosmetics fortune. Through Mandelâs contextual insights and Revsonâs own unvarnished reflections, the book captures the glamorous, perilous, and intoxicating world of 1970s Grand Prix racing, delivering a definitive portrait of one of the sport's most charismatic and complex figures.…
