True, its not cheap. Quality costs money. By the way, I have your new 512
book on order. Cant wait to get it.

True, quality costs money.

Thank you for that. Just out of interest - where are you buying it, and which edition - standard or deluxe?
Nathan

 

I bought it on Ebay. Ferrari Market Letter has them instock.

I always buy the regular edition. I am more into content than collecting pretty books. I would rather have a few more pages of information and photos than a special edition leather cover. I do like getting my books signed by the author. That's out of respect to the author for a job well done. I use my books, so the
cover would not be perfect after a few years anyway.

Thanks Tom - hope you like it.

The Alfa 2.9 was that price in 2004..it's two volumes, or was for that printing.....Scaledetails sold them along with the Miller models...

IMHO i've seen better covers...
hope the design of the interior measures up to the fabulous examples of print-design that their previous few yearbooks have been. I dont have them all, but the ones i have are treasures...

One just sold on Ebay for $175.
Only 1500 printed in October 2008 and NOT ON SALE

238 pages in Italian and English with photos - Size: 24.5 x 30.8 cm
All 1500 copies were sold to Italian wine company " Donelli Vini". The book was a free gift if you bought 18 bottles.

I just finished reading it. A truly excellent book, in my opinion.

 

I just bought a copy of this book and have read the first few chapters. It’s fascinating reading. The book is structured as an extended interview/conversation between Franco Gozzi and Sergio Scaglietti. Both of them are among the most select insiders from the days of the “old guard” at Ferrari. As such, the book is filled with interesting stories and anecdotes that have not been endlessly told before. Also, unlike some Italian published books, the English translation is perfect. It certainly gets my highest recommendation. On the down side, it may be hard to find a copy as there are only 1500 copies of this book out there and it is not being sold through the normal distribution channels.

 

For those looking for a copy of FERRARI IN CAMERA, there's one (blue edition) on ebay right now for a (relatively) reasonable buy-it-now price of $1,000.

A very good buy at that price.

Anyone bought these 15 books (Italian text only) in one range?
Price 199 euro, worth the money?
Heard that many never seen photos are in the books.

Hi Tom
I have Vol. 13 only (paid far too much for it on Ebay), but I think it is typical of the other volumes. Nicely designed and produced (it is an official Ferrari product) with plenty of photos - many seem to be previously unpublished. There are also a lot of drawings and illustrations. MY main frustration is that it is in Italian so I can't read it. The cover price is 14.99 euros which seems to be very good value for the size and quality. For 199 euro I would say definitely worth the money (as long as the shipping isn't too expensive)
