Book Reviews of 100 Years of the Isle of Man TT: A Century of Motorcycle Racing
Book Review: Interesting, but flawed
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been on a tear buying up TT related books this year. This is #2 of 4. David Wright's book was an informative read that did keep my attention. It had enough raw data mixed in with anecdotes to be interesting. What I was disappointed in were some of the pictures chosen for the book. I don't know if it's printing costs that caused this, but there were a number of modern pictures that I know were color, but printed in black and white in the book. After seeing the original color shots, the B&W versions were a lot less impressive.
Pictures aside he did cover some things I had not yet read. The prize money thought the years. Where it came from, and to whom it went, was very interesting to me. The sidebars sprinkled around the book were nice touches of extra information as well. I'd recommend it as a good addition to anyone's TT library.
