Important Ferrari books

Photography by Everett Anton Singer
Introduction by Stan Nowak

Limited Edition Published by Spyder Enterprises, New York 1985
Copy# 2010 of 2500 published worldwideBook measures 12” x 12”

Condition: Very good overall condition. I bought this book from Chuck Jordan in the mid-1990s when he decided to sell some of the duplicates he had in his extensive collection of books about Ferraris. Visible flaws consist of very small chip in embossed book cover along one edge; some age spotting along page edges (only seen if turn closed book is turned sideways and looked at from above or below); and minor separation of cover spine noticeable only when book lays flat after it has been standing upright on shelf for years (i.e., minor settling along spine)(See photos of all of these flaws).

Price: $275
