I found a few minutes this long weekend to start compiling a list of my
books on cars and racing. I was astounded to find I have 41 books
written for racing drivers on race technique, participation, etc. and
the oldest was from 1950. 
Many of these books have been found in used bookstores around the Boston
area!
Anybody know of any I've missed? Collecting can be obsessive you know...

Regards, Jim
