The book in this edition is housed in an elegant, strikingly sized slipcase. An ingenious system allows the side cardboard edges to be tilted to easily remove this book of 416 pages.
Slots are provided in the flaps for removable cards with gold edges, hand-signed by each of the 8 drivers who have won this legendary race at least four times: Derek Bell, Frank Biela, Sébastien Buemi, Yannick Dalmas, Jacky Ickx, Tom Kristensen, Henri Pescarolo, Emanuele Pirro.
The choice of 7 printed colors on a high-quality coated paper offers optimal colour reproduction and a fantastic greyscale range.
The text sections stand out from the body of the book thanks to both their slightly smaller format and their paper, which has a fibrous feel and is camel beige in colour. The elegance of the airy layout nonetheless captures the intense rhythm that is so characteristic of the event.
Alluding to the exclusive Centenary trophy, the cover of the book is covered with a top-of-the-range canvas in a matt "golden bronze" color that contrasts sharply with the black of the bevelled case, a real presentation support allowing the book to be displayed vertically.
