About this Item

Rare & highly sought after book on W.O. Bentley. His own autobiographies are well known, but this Biography is the Great Man as others see him. If you are familiar with the earlier works, you will want to read this as many of his achievements he would not have recorded which is typical of most successful yet still modest people.There is a story that this book was strongly opposed by various 'Bentley people' while being researched and it's rapid disappearance from bookshelves as soon as it was finally published could be due to a wealthy 'interested party' who may have bought up all the editions he could and pulped them - unhappy at how WO was portrayed , As a result this is compulsive reading for every dedicated Bentley enthusiast who seeks to go beyond the acepted version of WOs own life story! I'm assured it's not half as scandalous as the story makes it seem! 256 pages many photos, the book is in as New Condition. Seller Inventory # A 3181
