F1 96 World Championship Photographic Review

F1 96 World Championship Photographic Review. Vine House Books, £21.95

Of similar size to its stablemate, this volume also packs a wad of photos but no captions! Three quarters of the book comprises colour pictures, some of them splendid, but not a clue about who or where or why. Apart from a basic fact-spread on each race, there is only a history of Williams and some disconnected gossip. A wasted opportunity. GC

Gordon Cruickshank

Deputy editor

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
