    I am new to this forum, and would like to get some help in assessing the value of some Ferrari books in my possession.
    One of my other hobbies is collecting classic and vintage racing bicycles, I know how it works in that field: discussion forums, ebay, Craigs list or similar, etc. Since I have decided to give this hobby preference over the Ferrari stuff I've collected, I would like to sell the following books, and would like some help in finding the right route to do that (Ebay? somewhere else? this forum?) and an idea of the value of these books.
    The list is (so far):
    1- Ferrari Pininfarina 1952-1965 (Style Auto reprint 1990)
    2- Ferrari 250 GTO (Keith Bluemel, Jess Pouret, 1998)
    3- L'idea Ferrari (I believe the catalogue of or at least the photo book that went with the exhibition in Florence in the fall of 1990)
    4- Ferrari 250 Grand Touring Cars (Nicola Cutrera, 1990)
    5- Ferrari (Nigel Fryatt, 1993)
    6- Ferrari GT cars (Gaetano Derosa, 1995)

    All books are English language, except # 4; condition of all books is excellent, except # 3, which is 'used'.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    welcometo the forum, so concerning the value it will be much
    more easier to see with a profesional or directly with the printer i mean the
    productor book. you ve got also the site ebay for seeing the price see the historic of sales.

    have a nice day with us here.

    Well, I didn't know there even was a hardcover. I'll be sure to mention that fact.

    I have TWO different copies of "Pilote Che Gente" as well! LOL!

    Big library.....

    IIRC the soft cover was purchased here in Houston, TX......I may have ordered the other one...often I link up with museums and such on stuff like that on a major show.....

    I visited Florence in the fall of 1990, unaware of the Ferrari exhibition. The second day of my visit I noticed the announcement; I walked to the parc, the exhibition was closed! One day too late. Through the trees I could just see some Ferrari shapes in big glass boxes.
    A sad story, really ..

    Dude!

    That IS too sad of a story! Really!

    The pics I saw were quite beautiful.....

    I once raced karts, and have often threatened to fill my gf's backyard with miniature glass cubes like that........my karts were painted as F1 miniatures....#27 and #28.....

    Now she's piled them up under a tree in the rain.......
