I love the big photos in this book and the way each decade is summarized in text before the photos are displayed. A great overview of this amazing race. I'm a little over halfway through; it's a quick read/look.
Update: I finished the book and I really enjoyed the vignettes of each decade of the race which highlighted interesting points of the Tour's history. The photos were great!
