I've just scanned and uploaded a front and rear cover of another Kennedy Brothers publication like the 1973 book Dan Artley mentioned and which Warwick Fair had scanned the covers of.

This one, "1971 Tour de France" :

Notice the water bottle on Eddy's bike has a "cozy" - as was discussed a few days ago regarding uncommon collectible Tour bottles.

This was the famous race in which Luis Ocana, ahead of Eddy, had crashed out of the race while descending during a mountain rain storm in stage 14. Ocana was riding for "BIC" on an orange Motobecane with full Campagnolo. Also, a "slow-down strike" was hastily negotiated with racers during an early stage - by officials driving alongside the lead riders plodding along at only 15 mph. And, Eddy's only Dutch teammate, Rini Wagtmans, unexpectedly found himself in the yellow jersey for a day.
