A tribute book featuring an illustrated history of Jason Richards’ career, life and battle with cancer is set to hit the printing presses in time for Christmas.

All profits from the book will go to the Sienna and Olivia Education Trust to provide educational support to Richards’ two young daughters.

Close friend and Australian motorsport legend John Bowe is encouraging racing fans to place their orders to ensure the book hits the printing presses.

“I’m really pleased to announce the Jason Richards Tribute Book is now underway,” Bowe posted on Facebook.

“Guys, we need to guarantee a minimum quantity, so I’m asking for your help on this one! We need another 200 book orders and the printing presses begin to roll.

“These will make a fantastic Xmas gift for anyone you know who loves their motorsport, maybe if you’re a business you could buy them as a Christmas gift for your clients/staff/friends.

“We thank Jase’s folks, wife Charlotte and family for their support, collaboration and celebration of the life of a very dear friend and an awesome racer!

“The writers, photographers and designers have all donated their time to support the family. Thank you for support!”

John Bowe and Greg Murphy have written forwards for the book, which features 192 pages of illustrations.

The books are $65 each (plus postage and handling) and are available online by clicking here.
