Books - My Top 20

I've checked old threads and don't think anyone has done it in this form; recently anyway. I wanted to list, from my collection, my current selection of favourite motor and motor racing books! Some are predictable and some no doubt are not the best on the particular subject, but they are the ones that over the last couple of years have interested and entertained me. Next year, after reading others, or rereading old favourites the list might change, but anyway, in no particular order, here goes:-

1) Roesch and the Invincible Talbot - Anthony Blight
2) The French Sportscar Revolution - Anthony Blight
3) Brooklands - The Complete motor Racing History - 'Bill' Boddy
4) Stirling Moss - My Cars, My Career - Moss with Doug Nye
5) Derek Bell - My Racing Life - Bell with Alan Henry
6) My Life Full of Cars - Paul Frere
7) The Certain Sound - John Wyer
8) Martini Racing Story - Paolo D'Allessio
9) Aston Martin, 1913-47 - Inman Hunter
10) Sportscar Heaven-DBR1 v Testa Rossa - Chris Nixon
11) Racing with David Brown Aston Martins Vol 1 & 2 - Chris Nixon
12) Unbeatable BMW - Jeremy Walton
13) Maserati - A History - Anthony Pritchard
14) Ferrari 250 GT Competition Cars - Jess Pourret
15) Targa Florio - David Owen
16) The Mille Miglia - Mike Lawrence
17) Echoes of Imola - David Tremayne
18} Chasing the Title - Nigel Roebuck
19) Unless I'm Very Much Mistaken-My Autobiography - Murray Walker
20) Life at the Limit - Prof. Sid Watkins

Well, there it is! I started to put comments by each one, but then decided I would probably be here all day, so gave up on that. What are your choices?
