Colin Chapman by Denis Bernard

Anyone seen this new book on Chunky?
"Synopsis
Colin Chapman - legendary racing car designer, founder of Lotus, one of the true greats of motorsport - has been the subject of several biographies but this new one is really special. Endorsed by his family and with a foreword by his son Clive, this all-color hardcover tells Chapmans story in comic-strip form. Beautifully drawn and historically accurate, this brilliant book will enlighten and charm motorsport enthusiasts in equal measure."

Can't say I'm a big fan of "comic-strips" but interested in feedback before I decide to buy...

I've got them in French, language in which this one book is devided in 3 separate ones. The authors were at the Club Lotus France Festival at Montlh?ry last October, the designed special drawings inside each book, i've got two of them!

The book is good, and even if the story is know, it's always good to see it in pictures.

For the price, I think it's definitely worth it!

Ed,
I'll be pleased to give your regards to Hazel and Clive when I bump into them next, I'm sure that Colin's 2 daughters would be pleased to hear from you as well, but I haven't met them to get on personal terms.

Colin Chapman passed away before he could defend his good name and before it was besmirched.
