Official book collectors thread

Are there any Ferrari period pics in this book ? Thanks !

 

Ed Niles’s book has shipped.

 

No. It is basically a background to the event (which includes mention of the Pebble Beach races) and a short history about each year's Concours winner. Please bear in mind, I have only just received it and so have only glanced through so far. But I don't think there is a great deal of Ferrari content as there wasn't a Ferrari winner of the Concours until the 375 in 2014.

 

OK. Thank you very much for the review !

The editor was in contact a couple of months back, looking for some photos. He said that there had been substantial delays but now the project was moving forward and was in the final stages of design. That is as much as I know, hope it is of some help.

 

Thank you

I got my copy today. I was surprised to see that the books had different page widths, requiring a baffle inside the case! At first glance it looks like a real fun read.

I do have one question, though. At the end of book 1, Ed notes that his only Ferrari at present is the same model that I own, a 328. But it does not appear, as far as I can tell, in the long list of Ferraris he has owned, which appears in both volumes. Does anyone know the serial number of Ed's 328?

 

S/N 60053

 

Off topic: Porter Press has presented an incredible array of limited editions of their new BRM book. Which one to take? The Jackie Stewart Edition looks extremely tempting But the price - puh ...

Would have to be the tartan one for me

 

As said before, Porter is trying very hard to imitate Palawan, but they are not on the same level. Base versions are affordable, but then they over estimate themselves.

 

They look Fantastic but I would go for the limited edition version (cheap one)
The other versions are, in my opinion to Expensive, and definitely not Palawan quality

Passing by Porter Press's website to check the BRM books again, I discovered by coincidence that the standard edition of Keith Bluemel's 250 GTO #4153 book is for sale again at a sensational price of just 90 pounds! Some dealers have been asking up to 500 euros in the meantime. Less than 10 copies are available according to Porter Press. So, I didn't hesitate a minute ;-)

 

I also have ordered the 250 GTO #4153 and the BRM book Normal edition

Apparently transatlantic delivery’s more efficient west->east than east->west.

 

My copy arrived today...when I am able, looking forward to it.

 

And this afternoon the nice young postman delivers one of the last copies from the publishers of 250 GTO #4153...time to take a break from buying books....
