According to Amazon UK Tremayne's book on Jim Clark will be released on 5th April, two days before that fateful day in 1968. I have had it on pre-order since February at a very good discount price but sadly will not get to see it until early May upon my next trip to GB.
What I would give to be at Duns on the 7th April but not possible unfortunately. However in all probability I would be better suited to a quite time there to soak in the feelings generated by my ultimate hero.

I’m like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for this one John 👍
Duns on the 7th will be fantastic, I think Chris is planning to go? I can’t go next weekend myself but I have in mind that the first long road trip in the car (after some testing to iron out any bugs) will be a visit to the hallowed ground of Duns / Chirnside.

Jamie I can't think of any better reason for a maiden road trip with a new "special" car than a trip to Duns. I hope Chris does make it, and has a great and no doubt emotional day.
I am hoping that there will be some interesting and new/unpublished photos in the Tremayne book, can't think that he will have anymore to write than the already written material but it should be a pleasurable read.

I agree, its pretty much all been said I would think but it always good to read about Clark. I'm just glad that Jim is still being written about, I truly believe that people will still be talking about him in a hundred years time, he was that special.

I’m still waiting for Amazon to tell me when mine will be delivered 🙁 Jamie I had an email this morning from Amazon informing me that my book is out for delivery to my friends address in the UK. Sadly I won't see it until I am over in Gloucestershire in early May.

Mine will be here on 2 May. I splurged a bit this month after selling my model railroad and also purchased Hobbo, David Hobb's autobiography. I also brought a book on all the F1 cars that raced during the seventies. I have the one on the 60s and it has a pic of every single car, including the myriad privateers, year by year.

Rob, I would be interested in David's book and would value your comments once you've read it, I keep thinking of getting Fitz's book but have deferred for the moment, really need to sell some of 'my stock' i think - or move to a bigger house maybe?
i ordered Jimmy's book via MotorSport and await advice as to when it might arrive....

I will do Chris. All of the books I have read on drivers from that era I have enjoyed so hope the trend continues. I must look at Fitz's book too.
