90RG COUNT GIOVANNI LURANI RACING ROUND THE WORLD 1920-1935 - First Edition (UK). The book is undated but must have been written in the mid/late thirties (and later translated into English by John Eason-Gibson) as it covers only to 1935 season. The foreword is by that fine driver, Achille Varzi, This  hardback book runs to 220pp. with many photos of 'Johnnie' in action on some of the most challenging & varied courses in the world, Tunis - Tripoli, Mille Miglia , Monza, Pescara 24hrs, Avus even the Monte Carlo Rally, Turbie & Stelvio Hill Climbs, Brooklands Double 12 plus the more traditional GP scene. Lurani raced anywhere as a wealthy amateur and in later life put back into the Sport by introducing Formula Junior for the up & coming of the late '50's/early '60's, but that's getting ahead of the scope of this Book. A very good book that still excites. In V.G.C. as is film protected, a little light foxing to edge of pages. VG . 1st £36
