Prior to the writing of Remembering Elio, the longest article written on Elio De Angelis - photographs included - only lasted 8 pages. Only recently, Johnny Tipler's book Ayrton Senna - Team Lotus Years revealed some inside stories at the Team Lotus, albeit from the Senna legendary superiority point of view. Most aspects were still left uncovered: we all knew that Elio was a fine pianist by we never saw any of his others artworks. And we all knew that Jean Alesi's helmet is based on Elio de Angelis' distinctive design, but never have any clue about its origin. Did Elio ever meet Enzo Ferrari? What went through Elio's mind after his retirement at the 1986 Monaco Grand Prix? Yes, the answers are in this book!

Remembering Elio follows the same size configuration as Coterie Press' Ayrton Senna book and is quite large: 27.6 cm in height by 27.9cm in width (approximately 10.9 inches by 11 inches). The 11" length size format is widely used, so it will fit very nicely with other books on the bookshelves. In comparison, Rainer Schlegelmilch's Grand Prix - Fascination Formula 1 is even slightly taller (12.6 x 11 in). The hardback covers and 208 pages give a 2.4cm thickness to the book.
