Official book collectors thread

I notice that the book uses the official Ferrari logo on the cover. You should send a copy to the Ferrari press office, and if the publishers haven't gfot permission then Ferrari will m ake them withdraw it from sale, and we can all be saved from this shocker.

Anything with the Ferrari name on it is pretty much guaranteed a certain number of sales. We're all prone to falling for that trap.

 

I think they have been smart and used capital letters rather then lower case to get around that copy write issue Nathan.

 

Anything that includes in the title, 'Meet the Legend', or 'The so-and-so Bible' should be avoided like the plague!

 

Ah yes, the modestly titled "so and so Bible" what rot.

 

Hahaha, a compendium though, now that's an entirely different thing.

 

Does anybody in SoCal have the book
Road to Modena: Origins & History of the Shelby - De Tomaso P70 Paperback

by Peter Brock
I need it for ref. asap. Will trade various books for it, for instance Shelby book by Friedman hardbound, a book by a GM designer on the Bill Mitchell years.

The new 2020 Ferrari Yearbook.

Only one cover design this year?

 

So it seems the 250 GTE book is now sold out from the publishers so if you come across a copy online or at your local motoring book store certainly worth buying.

I see they are again releasing two different cover versions for the 2020 Yearbook.

Ferrari...always finding new ways to extract as much money from fans/collectors as possible.

 

Don’t buy, nothing but a set of pretty pictures.

 

I've already committed to those bloody things as the Yearbooks I've been collecting over many years became TOFM.

 

Do yourself a service and uncommit, there is plenty of wonderful publications to savour!

 

Agree, I own most of them.
But once a collector... always a collector.

 

I might be wrong but the "second set" of the 2020 Yearbook is just a thin 24-page addendum with the Italian text but it shows a yellowish SF90 Spider on the cover whereas the main yearbook shows the blue one.
The Yearbook as such is in English and has print #6914/20.

Thanks for posting this Marcel. Apparently the 2020 edition isn't yet available to the public?

 

Don't know. Mine is in the shelf since a few days already.

Marcel Massini

 

Sounds like an interesting book, horrible cover though.

 

You can't judge a book . . .

 

according to the Ferrari store the yearbook is in 2 cover versions. Marcel I think the yellow one in your photo (it also has text written on the cover) is the Italian translation of some articles?

See post #3143.
I already stated that there is a separate translation.

I agree Ferri, it certainly looks that way from the description on the Ferrari Store webpage.
