As Land Speed Record historian David Tremayne states in his
foreword, 'This is a wonderful book that celebrates passion.' In a
remarkable first book, Barry John has celebrated his life-long
passion for the quest for speed by writing, illustrating and
designing this fascinating history of record-breaking on land.
Along with his informed and detailed text, his beautiful artwork
shows all significant record-breakers in their immense variety,
each illustrated in profile and accompanied by a cameo portrait of
its driver. From the start of it all in the late 19th Century to
today's challengers seeking to reach 'the last frontier', 1,000mph,
the story that unfolds will enthral not only enthusiasts for the
subject but anyone appreciative of innovative engineering and brave
human endeavour.
