Publication: Wiltshire, Dove Publishing, 1997

Formatting: 4to, pp. 256.

Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains tight and square with secure hinges, exhibiting no notable shelf-lean. Internally, the text block is highly presentable; the pages are bright, crisp, and entirely free from foxing or prominent thumbing. The original unclipped dust jacket is fully intact but does display some moderate shelf-wear, most notably a diagonal surface crease and light scuffing to the rear panel, alongside minor rubbing to the extreme upper edges.

Catalogue Note: This copy represents an unusual and scarce corporate variant of the first edition. While the copyright page designates the standard 1997 Dove Publishing first edition, the title page bears a distinct publisher's imprint stating: "This edition printed exclusively for Ford Motor Company".

This secondary binding adds a unique layer of motoring provenance entirely distinct from the standard trade release.

The volume is profusely illustrated throughout with both colour and halftone monochrome photographs chronicling Clark's racing career. Please note that the prominent signature on the photographic portrait page is a printed facsimile inherent to the publication's design, not a live autograph.

A universally acclaimed and authoritative biography of motorsport legend Jim Clark (1936–1968). Dymock, a fellow Scot and contemporary motoring journalist, chronicles Clark's meteoric rise to becoming a two-time Formula One World Champion in 1963 and 1965. The narrative offers a deeply researched examination of both the unparalleled genius Clark displayed behind the wheel and the profound impact his tragic death had on the subsequent, life-saving push for track safety.

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.
