Official book collectors thread

I just got mine...... And by accident I found out that the Official Ferrari Magazine is to appear only 3 x year anymore. So, the last of the 3 will be the so-called 'yearbook'. So, from now on, same price for 1 magazine less. Quite shameful way of making money!

 

Are you sure it isn't 3 issues plus the yearbook?

 

Well, this says enough...

TOFM - The Official Ferrari Magazine

Btw, #31 was 2015's yearbook. Then in April 2016 came #32 (the first smaller size magazine), and just now, in October, appeared #33. The next one is gonna be the 2016 yearbook, #34, in December.
Not very fair, I must say...

 

And nobody seems to object that the subscription amount is (still) €250..... But if you buy seperately, you pay €50 per magazine and €100 for the (246 pages)Yearbook, which is €200 for a full year. That's clever accountancy!

 

The mag can be bought at regular newsstands (kiosks) in and around Maranello.
It can also be bought at certain newsstands in Switzerland (Zurich).

Most official Dealers sell them as well.
By the way, it seems to be more and more difficult to find the book "Racing Activities 2015".
Still looking for that one.... Somebody has a clue?

 

There's one for sale on ebay germany.

 

Thanks!

Wow! Great!
I hope for a bi-lingual edition.

In french
You might need google translate ;-)

 

Came across news of this new book on Carlo Facetti, think it might be in Italian language only. But the man behind the turbocharged Dino powered Stratos, the amazing Carma 308 Biturbo and a whole host of other race and rally 308's.
If anyone knows of a source....???

Nice, I wonder what level of detail it goes into?

 

I have a book that I would like to sell.
I quote below a review of this book from the Vintage Section.

Amazon has one for sale for $596.24.

I would sell mine for a lot less. If anyone is interested, send me a pm.

tongascrew's brief book reviews #102:

"FORTY YEARS OF FERRARI V-12 ENGINES"; by W.E. Gas/Ch;Society of Automotive Engines, Inc.,Warrendale Pa., 1990;large format; hard back;cloth cover; clear plastic dust cover {probably not original); a collection of images from the Peter Sachs collection of Klementsky images;Robert Donner paintings reproductions by Manfred Lampe & Barry Taylor; Ferranissima & Motor Trend; 80 pages of high gloss prints, 8 chapters plus Appendix and References. From 1990 prices varied from $2643.30 to as little as $95.00 ("all used-very good"). I have no record of what I paid, most likely around $95.00, and I have added 37 pages of articles from Motor Trend, The Autocar, Ferrari Chat etc.on the subject. The eight chapters have titles like Analysis, Road Car Engines, Sports Car Engines, Grand Prix Engines covering topics such as "piston speed"," compression ratios", "bore and stroke ratios" "BMEP" and more,as well as charts and statistics of these topics. I know of no other volume anything like this. You will have to decide if you need this but it should be included in any comprehensive collection of Ferrari historic literature. Enjoy. tonga's crew

My Ferrari book, autographs includes John Surtees, Jack Brabham, Phill Hill etc.

 

VERY nice. Did you acquire the autographs or did a previous owner. That book must have stories. Please tell!

 

Thanks. I acquired it from a previous owner at a bookstand (Steve Tappin Books) at the Alexander Palace Classic Car Show this year. The previous owner collected them over many years, I plan to add to them.

I had to have hit when I saw John Surtees, Phil Hill and Jack Brabham. If I could add Sterling Moss, that would be amazing, plus the more recent Ferrari drivers.

 

Go to Goodwood Revival or FOS and you'll be able to add a lot of great signatures.

 

Cool, thanks for the suggestion - Didn't think of that.

 

OK, so it was only five years ago I mentioned this publication...
Other contents include a market analysis by Christian Huet.
