I bought the hardcover edition of “On the Edge” by Hammond on Amazon for 3 euros. Condition: used, good.

Turns out, it’s signed. ☝️😃

"Production team as usual has provided me with a CD to keep me awake on this long and difficult and perilous voyage." - Clarkson on listening to Hammond narrating this very book while racing the SUN

Off the edge would be a more accurate title

That hadn't happened when he wrote the book, otherwise you never know!

Is this the same book James turned into toilet paper on Man Lab?

That's what I was thinking! I just watched the episode and it was Hammond's earlier book "As You Do"

How many books can you write about being short and crashing cars?

Is that the book that James May used to turn into toilet paper in Man Lab?

I'll wait for the follow up. "Hamster to Buttons: The Bastards Were Right!"

Maybe to preserve it? Or more likely they thought it was just a random squiggle and didn’t realise what they actually had!

Unfortunately, I also couldn’t find an answer to what that white sticker on the signature is supposed to mean. Maybe the idea was to protect the signature from wear or damage. But hey, it’s signed. For 3… in words, THREE euros!!1! 😃 What an amazing find!?
