The Perfect Vehicle
ISBN: 9780393318098 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych.

Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story,...
