Which book?
"Indianapolis 500 Chronicle", by Rick Popely. Great mix of detailed race recaps, photos, and anecdotes through the years. I'll post up a full review when I'm finished, as of now I'm only up to 1965 or so. 
I have that one as well...it's a very good source. The photo of the start of the '67 race in my article is taken from that book, as well as the puzzle I ran a few months ago of Rudy Carricciola in the Thorne Big Six. Donald Davidson has a new book out that should be even more detailed, but it's kinda salty...60 bucks. The problem with books like this is that they're outdated almost as soon as they come off the press...Popely's book was published in early 1999...nearly 10 years ago. Until that book came along, though, the best work of that type was Jack C. Fox.s THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE INDIANAPOLIS 500...and it only covers the years up to 1984.

Karl Ludvigsen and Roger Huntington have some excellent books on the technical advances of Indy cars, too...Huntington's book is long out of print, but can be found at places like Half.com
