History of the Giro D Italia

Books on the Tour de France are ten a penny, throw a bidon into the sports section in Waterstones and you'll probably hit half a dozen. Books on the Giro D'Italia however are as rare as hens teeth, in fact I've never come across one, so The Story of the Giro D'Italia by Bill and Carol McGann, is a welcome addition.

The format is straightforward, it's a year by year history of the first 61 years, giving an overview of the race plus any interesting historical snippets.
