NOSTALGIA RETURNS; Several books remember what it was like back in the day.(Revs)
1. Grand Prix! Rare Images of the First 100 Years by Quentin Spurring, hardbound, 240 pages, David Bull Publishing, $49.95 bullpublishing.com
Spurring, a motorsports contributor to AutoWeek, writes captions for the 241 fascinating photographs as if he were there, throughout the century, in person. Besides explaining action in the photos, Spurring includes back stories to put the drama in perspective. He does narratives, too, from the first international car race given the title "Grand Prix'' (1906) and ending with Fernando Alonso's world championship title.

Bob Bondurant said, "Even today it would be a fantastic circuit.''
