Negative Positive
Title: One fo the few books on outboard racing!
Review: Positive: for the most part accurate and complete. Lots of European racing, nice pictures, heavy coverage of 80's OPC racing. All in all very few errors. Charlie Strang was one of the main references.Negative: Some photo captions are switched, some are just plain wrong, some photos are poor quality scans, some are placed for book layout and are out of sequence to the text, some have been altered to suit the text. Book was originally written in French, the translation suffers at some points. No coverage of small boat racing after 1960...no Quincy Loopers, no Crescent CSSH, no modern König, Yamato, Arens, Rossi alky stuff. A few errors due to poor research. Some omissions of motors included in Desomnd's earlier books.
