I believe theres one that documents the early days of the tour with riders catching trains and getting lifts in cars! Can anyone advise of the title and author?

[url= http://www.amazon.com/Story-France-Carol-McGann-Mcgann/dp/1598581805 ]This one[/url]'s pretty good, I enjoyed it anyway. I just read the Kindle one so I don't know what the dead-tree format edition is like.

The Tour de France by Christopher S Thompson has some good insights.

I liked race for madmen. By Chris did wells. Chronological so it helped 'frame' things
