Racing the Silver Arrows
Racing the Silver Arrows by Chris Nixon Transport Bookman, £39.95. ISBN: 0-85184-055-8
Considering the acclaim which greeted Nixon’s book on the Mercedes-Auto Union rivalry of 1934-39, and its rapid sell-out, it surprises that it has taken 11 years for a reissue to appear. But here it is, no doubt displeasing the book traders as first edition prices drop. Highly recommended; still one of the great motor racing books. GC
