This book covers the history of Holman Moody nicely. I noticed a few errors, but the overall story and photo's are excellent. I thought I knew quite a bit about Holman Moody, but this book really opened my eyes to their accomplishments and history. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Overall the book has nice design, photos, and production but is sorely lacking in proof reading and editing. There are numerous and repeated examples of incorrect spellings. Some examples: Ford Galaxie is incorrectly spelled in book as "Galaxy" and driver Rodger Ward's name spelled "Roger." The authors were either sloppy or the proof reading nonexistent. It makes you wonder about the accuracy of other data.
Rated by buyers -
Although the book chronicles the lives of one of the great car building and racing teams, it leaves out an integral part of the story. The author states, " I've purposely decided to steer clear of the politics and disagreements that occurred between John (Holman) and Ralph (Moody)." The author talks about all of the people who asked him to "concentrate on the positive."
Can you imagine if every book was written this way? Although one learns alot about their relationship with Ford and the drivers, what's missing is the details of what made Holman & Moody such an intersting and dynamic combination.
For $40, one would expect the whole story.
