Rally Yearbook 1998

Written by Stefan l'Hermitte and Philippe Joubin, pictures by Pascal Huit, statistics and results by Severine Huit, this originally French book is translated to English by Eric Silbermann.

Very big book, 26x33cm, and equally large typeset to boot but not overly thick in terms of pages nor content. There are not many articles and those are not too comprehensive, individual rally coverage is good in both terms of text and results with numerous pictures to support the story. National championships covered, each in two pages, include France, Great Britain, Italia and Portugal/Spain.
