Original Ferrari v8 and v12 books for sale

Own both books but $300 for the pair seems fair.

 

Would you consider selling the books separately? I already have the V8 book. If so, what do you need for just the V12 version?

 

Don't think I have ever seen a softcover version of the V12 book. Interesting.

 

It's okay, I am not sure of the value either. I have really enjoyed the V8 book and thought that the V12 version would make a good addition. Good luck whichever way you go.

 

What prices have you seen for the soft cover version?

 

You got my interest going so I did a little research and found that the original book was called Ferrari V12 The definitive guide to front-engined road cars. In 2003 it was reprinted in both hardback and soft cover and was renamed Ferrari V12 the Restorers Guide similar to the V8 version. To your point the prices are all over the place, some very low and others very high.

I think I have both of those books packed away somewhere. I had no idea that they had that type of value assigned to them though.

 

Sorry to deliver less than positive news Tom. Regardless, it's a nice book to have! It looks like the originals are going for up to $500 USD on EBay.

 

My understanding is that the original first edition hard covered book is the one worth the most. Not the restorers version.

 

I have both books, and unless you have extra copies, I wouldn't sell either. While there are some small inaccuracies in both, generally they are excellent references. I read mine all of the time.

 

Ditto. Both the V8 and V12 books are a must have for any Ferrari owner or just a fan.

 

Interesting, I have both original hard covers. I didn't realize there was a second version of the V12 book.
