Background |
|
Prior to the
writing of Remembering Elio, no article written on Elio De Angelis did not exceed more than 8 pages.
Only recently, Johnny Tipler's book Ayrton
Senna - Team Lotus Years revealed some inside stories at the Team Lotus.
But most aspects were still left uncovered: we all knew that Elio was a fine
pianist by we never saw any of his others artworks. We all
knew that Jean Alesi's helmet is based on Elio de Angelis'
distinctive design, but what was the story behind it? Did Elio ever meet Enzo
Ferrari? What went through his mind after his retirement at the 1986
Monaco Grand Prix? Yes, the answers are all in this book! |

The 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. |
