Publication: Derby, Breedon Books Publishing Company Limited, 2002

Formatting: 4to, pp. 224.

Condition Report: Fine. The volume presents exceptionally well, bound in the publisher's original dark green boards which remain tight, firm, and entirely free of shelf-wear or bumping to the corners. The text block is square, and the page edges are clean and unblemished, showing no signs of foxing or darkening. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and free of inscriptions. The accompanying photographic dust jacket is vibrant and fully intact, exhibiting no chipping, tearing, or significant rubbing, effectively preserving the underlying binding.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition, first impression of John Tipler's heavily illustrated biography, as confirmed by the copyright page stating 'First published in Great Britain in 2002' with no subsequent printings listed. The volume features extensive black-and-white and colour photography documenting Hill's motorsport career, printed on high-quality gloss paper.

While not a scarce title on the open market, finding copies in such a well-preserved, near fine state without the usual reading wear or sunning to the jacket makes this a highly collectible copy for motorsport enthusiasts.

Graham Hill: Master of Motor Sport offers a comprehensive and visually striking biography of one of the most charismatic and successful figures in modern motor racing. Spanning a turbulent twenty-year career, John Tipler charts Hill's extraordinary journey from the front-engined cars of the 1950s to the sophisticated rear-engined machines of the 1970s. Alongside his double Formula One World Championships and his unique achievement of the Triple Crown of Motorsport—winning the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Monaco Grand Prix—this book explores his courage, his legendary rivalries, and his transition into team ownership before his tragic death in 1975.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
