Safety Last (signed by Eyston)

Extremely scarce edition of this classic work published by Vincent of Spalding. Very well illustrated. **Signed by George Eyston**

George Eyston came from the heroic golden age of motor sport, when competitors were prepared to risk everything, braving unknown frontiers where man had never ventured before, because experience of these higher speeds did not exist.

They were aware that their new experience would serve to form a firm basis for the expanded knowledge of a new technological age which is well demonstrated now by the very high speeds of modern racing cars.

Within the motoring side of the book, there are also experiences expressed such as driving on the backed circuits of Brooklands and Montlhery, and the résumé of the personalities that he met: Sir Henry Seagrave, Sir Malcolm Campbell, John Cobb, Ernest Eldridge, Cecil Kimber, and Victor Riley.

The book offers an interesting insight into Eyston’s life.

Hardback in generally good condition for age.
