That's a shame. Never mind, just stick to your comics.

Seriously good read. Hard to put the book down.

[Virago]

Shit. Should have told us sooner.

Have you let the bookshops know...? You should phone the publishers too - they may want to do a full recall...

I went to see Croz get presented with his cup at the Isle of Man.
I was the only Kiwi race fan there & was given the royal treatment as the crew were chuffed to have a Kiwi fan there, never bought a drink all night
Bumped into them at a meeting on the mainland & theyset me up with a lift in another crew's truck.
Croz you bloody legend.

I am reading it at present.

I am enjoying it, but do have a couple of issues. It needed a better editor or subeditor: sometimes you are reading and he is talking about person X by their nickname and you have no idea who that is, or why they are in the story. They were obviously going for a vernacular, "as if you were sitting having a beer with the guy" type approach, which I think works for the material, and certainly works on the way Crosby's personality comes out, but perhaps someone with a bit more of an eye for technical detail could have been involved (I'm thinking of the Tim Hanna, rigorous fact checking approach here). But overall, I like the book, the photos are gold, and some of the stories are fantastic. And back then, Production racing meant exactly that: pull it out the box, spanner it together and go racing.... with stock shocks, and tyres in some cases.

I also managed to get it at a Whitcoulls pre-Xrimble sale where they had 50% off all biographies. So a book that would be good value at $50 is a complete stunner for $25.

Just finished the book.
I enjoyed it. Not sure I ever saw him race, but he would've still been mentioned when I did go to the odd race at Puke (I know Freeth, Holden, Farrow were racing at that time). I've only read one or two of Hanna's books, and not really a fan. I enjoyed Crosby being him, and if I had to go back sometimes to work out who the hell he was talking about, I just put it down to me being shit with names anyway.

The end of the book seemed rushed, but I still thought it a good read. I've now read a book for the year, so that's all good. I'm female, and if it'd been technical my eyes would've glazed over, and I wouldn't have bothered buying it.

My wife bought the book for me for christmas, good one she is Great reading so far, very interesting having known virtually squat about the man before now. Will certainly be finished quite quickly, hard to put down!

A ripping yarn !
