Mario Andretti

The latest in a line of A life in pictures books from journalist Mario Donnini focuses on F1 and Indy star Andretti. As the title suggests, it’s packed with superb period shots, many beautifully presented across two-page spreads. The imagery alone is enough to warrant the price, but Donnini adds quotes and stories from Andretti’s career, and fact-filled captions. The only fly in the ointment is the dual Italian/english text, which means that few words take up a lot of space. GM £40 Mario Donnini, Giorgio Nada. ISBN 978 88 7911 682 4
