    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration

    very interesting book following the career of an interestin man

    this book i recommend if you are looking for an insight into the career of a great grand prix designer from his entry up to his more or less departure from the sport over some 35 years or so. if you are looking for technical information on the design and development of grand prix cars in specific's, this is probably not the book you are looking for. this is not to say that there isn't a lot of detailed nuggets to glean from the reading, but this is clearly not the goal of this book. i found the book quite well written, and a good read, and i came away understanding the internal working of a typical grand prix team, the politics involved, and all the ups and downs of winning and losing, along with losing someone's life as a result of a crash. The reader will also come to appreciate the ...

  • Excellent autobiography of a flawed man

    The selfishness and single-mindedness that made him great is laid bare (unintentionally?) in this autobiography. Passionate detail of a career with loved ones only as a distraction and afterthought. I still love his work, but not a fan of him as a person after reading. A compelling, quick, and easy read for a F1 fan. Recommend!

  • Awesome book from a F1 top designer.

    its Adrian Newey. top F1 designer like Gordon Murray. You get to read his approach of designing race cars and that just may help you for your own pursuit.
