DescriptionFirst edition 1949. Last book written by Malcolm Campbell before his death. (a small paragraph from the publishers noting that Campbell had not seen the proofs as he died before publication). This attempts to explain “the lure of speed” before devoting chapters to the early days of record breaking, then progressively faster records, the work of driving at high speeds, organising record attempts. An account of the progress in land speed records from the earliest days in the 1890’s to the record breaking exploits not just of Campbell but also his rivals Eyston and Cobb in the 1930’s.Hardback in generally very good condition for age. Good blue boards and inside clean and well bound. Ex Libris sticker of previous owner to inside cover. Dust cover also clean and bright, minor scuffs and tears primarily to top of spine.
