This is just a fantastic book! High quality pictures (and there are lots of!), very nice hourly summaries, good coverage of the practice sessions as well as the traditional statistics of the race, the drivers, the teams and the manufacturers.
The book also covers the return of Aston Martin in LMP1 after 50 years in detail having a look on the DBR1 history.
Another 3 pages are dedicated to the Le Mans legend François Guittet, an inhabitant of Le Mans, 92 years old.
I also like the last pages in the statistics section where each driver is shortly summarized with his racing history (see below).
To my surprise, the book does not start with Peugeot finally beating Audi… It starts with honoring Aston Martin in underlining the courage to return to the Sarthe with the aim to repeat the overall victory they got 50 years ago with the DBR1. Across several pages some background information as well as the history of the DBR1 are explained:
 The book also covers the most important technical news and highlights them with photos and explanations:
After the detailed coverage of the practice sessions the whole race is represented hour by hour. The following two pictures show the starting page of Hours 19:00 to 20:00 (Aston Martin’s in the lead among the petrol engined LMP1 racers) and 03:00 to 04:00 (showing Alan McNish looking to the screen showing technical difficulties of the fastest Audi on 2nd place):
The final results are nicely represented by showing each place with a picture and some information:
 Very interesting is the hugh section of statistics. It starts with graphs that show the cars with their gap to the leading position:
 Want to know all the details of a certain car? Each car is listed with all its details!!
 Each driver gets finally listed with its whole racing history and special remarks… This is really cool I think!
 One thing I also did not notice was the change of the A.C.O. Logo introduced in 2009:
