Atmospheric, amusing and VERY thorough...,
By
This review is from: Cooper Cars (Osprey Classic Histories) (Hardcover)
The first edition of this book was a true classic of racing history, combining Doug's impeccable research into the history of individual Coopers with a miscellany of anecdotes and stories to make an irresistible history of the marque. One of a very few racing histories that can make me laugh out loud.

A labor of love from a racing time long gone,
By "onebigracingfan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cooper Cars: Bk. M2709 (World champions) (Hardcover)
Nye's Cooper Cars marries exhaustive research and scholarship of the marque with an eminently readable style. A must-have for fans of Formula One's bygone years--and an excellent introduction for race-watchers who don't believe World Champion cars could ever come from the garage down on the corner.

Good balance of interesting antidotes and encyclopedic information,
By Ben Beames - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cooper Cars: Bk. M2709 (World champions) (Hardcover)
The amount of information in this book is massive. It could easily be called the "Encyclopedia of Cooper Cars". But it is not all dry technical and historical information. It contains many interesting quotes from famous drivers, telling stories of their more memorable experiences.It does however leave a little to be desired in the engineering department. Little is mentioned of why different chassis designs and configurations were tried. Cooper revolutionized F1 with their rear/mid engined cars and I can't find any mention of why/how they decided to configured that way (yes I know the advantages of a mid engined car, but what led to them discovering that).
