Steve McQueen: A Passion for Speed
"The darling of mens lifestyle bloggers everywhere, Steve McQueen has long epitomized rugged cool. This book is a paean to the legend. It offers iconic photographs of McQueen with his cars and motorcycles but also rare shots of him riding horses, working out and relaxing with his wife. Worth buying for the photos alone." -Forbes.com"There are books about famous movie stars and books about famous auto racers, but rarely do the two disciplines converge. Paul Newman is one example while Hollywood legend Steve McQueen is another. Some of McQueen's better-known roles included the Mustang-driving detective in "Bullitt" and the motorcycle-jumping POW in "The Great Escape". But it was his 1971 portrayal as Porsche-pilot Michael Delaney in Le Mans where McQueen displayed his fanaticism for auto racing. Frederic Brun's bookSteve McQueen: A Passion for Speedis full of behind the scenes photos of the actor / racer's obsession in front of the camera as well as participating in various racing events. www.motorbooks.com" -Newsday
