Ayrton Senna – The hard edge of genius, signed 1st edition book

Published by Guild Publishing in 1990, this is a first edition of the hardcover book entitled ‘Ayrton Senna – the hard edge of genius’. From his World Championship victory in 1988 to his controversial disputes the following year and finally to his recapture of the title in 1990, Ayrton Senna has regularly made the headlines. Yet many regard him as a shy and introverted personality. This biography offers a portrait of the man who has been described as the most talented motor-racing driver since Jim Clark. Senna is seen through his own eyes and those of the people who have been close to him. Here is the child from Sao Paolo who taught himself to drive in a farm jeep; the youth who astonished spectators at the Le Mans World Kart Racing Championship and who stormed his way through the Formula Ford 1600 scene to earn a place in Formula One; and the Senna whom few people really know – his philosophy, his religious beliefs, his feelings about his achievements and setbacks, and his explanation of the idea that drives him on to further goals. This particular edition was one of a limited number of only 100 signed by Senna and believed to be the only official book signing he ever did. The book is in excellent condition with dust jacket (some minor creasing to edge and price has been clipped), containing 208 pages with both colour and B+W photos. Dimensions are 24cm x16cm.
