Biography/Pictorial of Mark Martin's Life

As a Mark Martin fan, I looked forward to getting this type of book, one full of photos that covered the whole of Mark's life and racing achievements. I was not disappointed in this book at all. It is an oversized book, slightly smaller than a "typical" coffee-table type of book, but large enough to be kept on the sports fan's coffee table. It does a fine job of weaving the story of Mark's life in and around the photos, capturing the high point (and some low points) of his career. The book is part of the NASCAR Library Collection; normally I'm a little leery of series books as I think that they tend to gloss over the subject's life. This book isn't anywhere near a complete biography of Mark, but then I don't believe it was meant to be that: it's simply a well-put-together book for a race fan's perusing, with excellent photography by NASCAR (and some fine pictures courtesy of the Martin family).
