Brundle, Zanardi signings announced.

Former Formula One favourites Martin Brundle and Alex Zanardi will both launch their much-publicised books in London next week, with fans getting the chance to meet their heroes and get their copies signed.

Both drivers will appear at London's famous Sportspages bookshop on Thursday 14 October, when their respective titles Working the Wheel and My Story will first hit the shelves.

Brundle's 300-page tome provides an eye-witness guide to the grand prix circuits of the world, both past and present, and throws in Le Mans for good measure given the author's record around the French track. Each venue is covered in detail, but Brundle, now an ITV F1 analyst stops off at various points around the track to talk about the stories and sagas that he and his contemporaries encountered over the years as they travelled the GP world.

Zanardi's book is a long-awaited auto-biography, detailing his rise through the lower ranks before breaking in to F1 and, more successfully, the Champ Car World Series. On a more human level, however, it also tells of his return to fitness following the Lausitzring accident that left him at death's door and cost him his legs.

The Italian will be at Sportspages between 1230-1400hrs on Thursday 14 October, with Brundle following him through the door at 1730hrs.

The Briton will also be appearing at WHSmith on Holborn Circus between 1230-1330hrs the same day, and has three further signing dates planned, at Books Etc (Canary Wharf) between 1300-1400hrs and Ottakars in Bromley at 1700hrs on Friday 15 October, and at ASDA in Handford, Sheffield between 1300-1400hrs on Saturday 30 October. Further dates are planned in November so stay tuned...

Sportpages bookshop can be found at Caxton Walk, 94-96 Charing Cross Road in London.
