    Book in Los Angeles, apparently back in publication for 2021.Here's the publisher's decription for 2019. Will hnd deliver in los angeles




    The Concours Year 2019 was the first publication to celebrate the best concours from around the world and celebrates a market within the historic car world that is one of the most vibrant and growing sectors.

    With Class and Best of Show results from 39 of the premier Concours d'élégance including:

    • Pebble Beach Concours d'élégance
    • Amelia Island Concours d'élégance
    • Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este
    • The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering
    • Concours of Elegance Hampton Court
    • Salon Privé
    • Cavallino Classic
    The Concours Year 2019 also creates a social reference to the concours scene, documenting the people and the locations, including profiles of some of the key collectors and individuals participating in the market.

    Alongside the results of each concours, the yearbook includes a number of features that will enhance the publication and provide added interest:

    • An insider's guide to concours
    • A judge’s view
    • An entrant's view
    • A sponsor’s view
    • An organiser's view
    • Key trends in the concours scene
    • In-depth interview with Sandra Kaskey-Button, Chairman of Pebble Beach Concours d'élégance
    • Profiles on some of the very best cars brought to concours in 2019
    • Bentley – a celebration of 100 years

    Specifications

    Pagination: 240 + covers

    The Concours Year 2019 is lavish in every respect – oversize, beautifully produced and a book to be collected.

    That book has a massive omission: Chantilly which is now one of the top three concours on earth....hopefully they will correct that in subsequent editions.

    This book is a complete joke and useless. Why is The Quail in the book, a total lifestyle event without serious judging, and priorities on food and drinks?

    Are those two sentences supposed to be related? How can including something make it "a complete joke and useless" or if the second sentence is not supposed to be the reasoning behind the first, perhaps you can explain why it is "a complete joke and useless" for those of us that don't own a copy? Thanks.

    Thanks: the way Wally presented it in the opening post it seemed it was a book produced in Los Angeles: confusing. If it is made by the creators of Magneto I am sure it is very nice.

    Since I had a discount code, I bought a copy of this book. I will try not to repeat the description in the first post. Beyond the Art Deco cover, there are a few pages on each of the 39 Concours events included with a few paragraphs of text on each. Then more-or-less pictures of each class winner captioned with the make and model of the car (or motorbike, as a few are included) and the name of entrant. As you might imagine, to fit in such a large number of pictures of the winners, many of the photos are very small. If you own one of the winners included, no doubt you will want a copy for posterity but, personally, I would have preferred a bit more of a flavour of each event rather than trying to squeeze in so many tiny pictures.

    In summary, very much a niche book (not that there is anything wrong with that) and no real depth on either the events or the cars but a nice enough record of what it says on the cover.
