Looks worth the money, if you prize rare pictures of Shelby as a younger man.It's mostly a picture book but does have a few pages of copy.
The guy that was reading it when I peeked over hus shoulder was one of the photo contributors but even he can't get his copy until the bulk shipment arrives later this month. Here's the descripton off amazon or somesuch book vendor site


Shelby, the Race Driver: With Remembrances by Carroll Shelby
$29.95
by Art Evans
Before a Cobra was even a gleam in his eye, Carroll Shelby was a great race driver, one of the very best Americans driving during the 1950s. His career behind the wheel is told for the first time in this new book. It includes remembrances written by Shelby himself along with many never before published photographs. Among other achievements, Shelby won Le Mans in 1959, was twice the Sport Car Club of America National Champion and was chosen Sports Car Driver of the Year two times. The book details a large number of his races as well as his relationships with Juan Fangio, Phil Hill, Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham and John Fitch among many others. Shelby had World Championship ability, but unfortunately, his racing career was cut short after the 1960 season due to his heart condition.

192 pages. Due late October 2008.
