This beautifully bound coffee table art book celebrates 75 years since the birth of Formula One, specifically dedicating itself to the ten British drivers that have achieved the ultimate accolade of World Champion, with a foreword written by the 1992World Champion Nigel Mansell.

Award-winning artist Keith Burns’ fabulously dynamic illustrations feature each of these champions of the sport, duelling with their rivals. From the brutally dangerous ‘50s and ‘60s where drivers such as Mike Hawthorn, Graham Hill and the extraordinary Jim Clark faced serious injury or a fiery death as an ever-present reality, through to those competing in the current era, mastered their incredible technological marvels of cars; drivers such as Jenson Button and the multiple title-winning Lewis Hamilton.

Written by motorsport journalist Joe Saward, this 48-page book is available to buy as a standard print-only edition, or alternatively as a Premium edition featuring the ten mounted stamps and two miniature sheets from the associated stamp issues The Birth of Formula One – 75 Years, The British World Champions, Part One and Part Two.

Also Available

The 19 stunning illustrations from the book are also available as fine-art prints. The two commemorative Jersey stamp issues, together featuring the ten Formula One British World Champions as stamps, miniature sheets and souvenir sheetlets, are available as mint sets, presentation packs and affixed to First Day of Issue covers. ww.jerseypost.com

With many of us ‘staycationing’ this year, there can be few more soothing pastimes than gardening. And to celebrate this and the launch of the Chelsea Flower Show for the first time this September, Gifts by Mint has created their Flower Power gift box.

Gardens can give a sense of calm and reward us in so many ways, from a bountiful harvest of seasonal fruit and vegetables to the creation of a perfect vista of flora and manicured beds. Whatever your preference, the Flower Power gift box is ideal for the keen gardener.

Packed with clever tools and helpful accessories including a capacious waxed gardening bag for tools, seeds and more to a handsome hand trowel with bronze blade and comfortable wood handle, to a beautifully fragranced Legra soap bar and wooden handled nailbrush to leave hardworking hands clean and moisturised. …And when you can sit back and relax at the end of a hard day’s toil, then a chilled glass of Rock Angel rosé awaits…
