One rather amusing editorial note states that in addition to the regular staff employed each year to turn out the English French and German editions this year "for our accounts of the 1959 races we called upon a specialist who writes in a fourth language: that used by some of the motor racing enthusiasts of the United States." I guess they must have had some complaints about sounding too European. . Edita S.A. hardcover books
