But what really makes this edition special are the legendary drivers who lent their signatures to the book. The Publisher's Edition of
Formula One at Watkins Glen
is autographed by
Sir Jack Brabham
,
John Surtees
,
Sir Jackie Stewart
, and
Mario Andretti
. All four men were Formula One World Champions during the 20 years that Watkins Glen hosted the U.S. Grand Prix
.
David Bull Publishing has  produced autographed Publisher's Editions for more than a decade now, but this is the first one to be signed entirely by Formula One champions. And with only 100 numbered copies produced, it's a truly limited edition that will never be reprinted.
All four champions have strong memories of racing at Watkins Glen. Jack Brabham was already a world champion when he started on the pole at the first U.S. Grand Prix held there in 1961. John Surtees finished second at the Glen on the way to his championship in 1964, and would finish on the podium three more times. Mario Andretti made his F1 debut at Watkins Glen in 1968, when he stunned onlookers by taking the pole in the Lotus 49B. And for Jackie Stewart, memories of the Glen combine triumph and tragedy: he won there in 1968 and 1972, but a year later announced his retirement after his teammate Francois Cevert was killed in an accident.
On the special bookplate at the front of the book (seen at left), each driver's championships and results at the U.S. Grand Prix are listed under his signature. The numbered bookplate is also signed by Michael Argetsinger and by David Bull.
