Industry Reviews

'The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words certainly applies here. With Hamilton's profiles being succinct, it allows the iconic Cahier Archive - built by Bernard and his son Paul-Henri - to come to the forefront and leave a lasting impression on the reader... Hamilton and the Cahier Archive have combined again to create a statement piece which would be a very worthy addition to your Formula 1 collection. 4/5 - Highly recommended.' * PlanetF1 *
'The redoubtable scribe Maurice Hamilton explores every single one of those 33 remarkable people in his latest work... for this he has teamed up with father and son Bernard and Paul-Henri Cahier of the Cahier Archive Photographic Collection.

Great value and highly recommended.' * Motorsport News *
