    Yes it is. There is a chapter for every classic Ferrari clothed by Zagato till the sixties (in total about 7 or 8 cars), so don't expect the 348 or latest 575 in this book.

    For years this book was hard to find and therefore quite expensive, but lately it was reprinted.

    If you are interested in coachbuilders that built early ferraris, you should also check out the book, ferrari by Vignale, written by marcel Massini.

    mr. Massini was a conrtibutor to this forum and well known ferrari historian.
    Lots of pictures and history about every ferrari built by Vignale.

    Does anyone know where a copy is for sale, and at what price ?
    The Zagato book is fairly well done but not a work of art full of beautiful photographs, many are rare old photos.... the early history of each car is fairly complete. I am a previous owner of one of the cars featured and bought the book, even though it just mentions that my car passed through many hands until today.
    There are no restoration details

    Libreria 'dell Automobile in Milan has copies of the re-release of the Vignale book. The Zagato book has not been re-released and is getting a bit difficult to find. It is excellent too...

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'not re-released'. It was republished last year or the year before, at the same time as the Vignale book reprint, also in a softback limited reprint of 1,500 copies. I bought one. Link here (UK based seller with stock): http://www.chaters.co.uk/book_details.cfm/bks_id/12700
