Tour de France, 1903-2003 : a century of sporting structures, meanings, and values, editors Hugh Dauncey, Geoff Hare

This is a really interesting set of essays about the Tour de France, its meaning in French history, its effect on the media, and its commercialism. There is an interview with Jean-Marie Le Blanc at the beginning and there are essays about doping problems at the end, but I haven't gotten that far yet. It was produced for the centenary. Some illustrations but not a big coffee-table book.
