The Last Bugatti Racing Cars

Hi Dennis, I can only quote what the publisher wrote to me. Maybe, it was a tactical statement ...

 

I ordered it through Hortons as well.

 

For the Le Mans edition (and only for that one), the Hortons website now states „Delivery will be at the end of December“.

 

As many more of you have hopefully received the Bugatti book and had time to look through it, I would like to ask you for comments. Is it worth the money and the pain of waiting?

 

I have to dig a little deeper into it but i say content will be very good, lot of data, pics and seemed
to be a complete work.

But from book binding view, we are on a Palawan price level and i would say while Palawan
slip cases match the book quality and i feeling good to pay the price because quality and price is matchy,
the EB110 book offers much more a slip case in quality of the 100-200 Euro book range and the book itself in the 200-500 Euro range.

Content i have to read out but seems to be very good and book and slipcase from quality view seems expensive
but with 330 units total it‘s a very small run and as an avid collector i say it‘s worth the money and i‘m happy to have it and like it.

 

Christian, thank you very much for your competent and instructive little review! That helps very much coming to a decision myself whether to buy or not.

 

Quality content and data. I am very pleased with this book and that I have a copy. Good production too. As you say only 330 copies and have a feeling it will not be available in say a year from now.

 

Mine finally arrived. There is rubbing through the color on the right and left of the plate on the front cover of the book....Anyone else receive one damaged like this?

Looks like it was rubbed by slipcase

 

I’m told they will replace any damaged books sent from Germany.

 

Mine has no damage

 

I just read an interview with the publishers in Magneto 16: they say that they made a calculation on the total costs spent on the book and it turned out that they made a loss of 2,000 Euros per copy!
Suddenly those 800 Euros for this book doesn‘t sound that expensive anymore

 

The LM version is still not ready for delivery. I think with these huge costs, they first look how the GT and IMSA versions sell. And when copies of them are left, they deliver these to orders of the LM version and don't produce the LM version to prevent financial suicide.

 

Or they follow the recipe of the guy from Berlin Motor Books?

 

Starting at a print run and numbered at a total of only 330 I would suggest the complete opposite to the Berlin motor books fraud.

 

Any idea if the book is selling well?

 

The website theeb110book.com says it's in stock and let it be ordered, apparently.
I'm not convinced I'm ready to spend 800 euros for a Bugatti EB110 book though, so I did not go further than looking.

 

I have not the slightest idea.

The Hortons website says LM editon isn't in stock and will be available at the end of December.

 

How many do you want, from any of the editions? This is not something like the Kidston-Miura book, for whatever reason.

 

Just checked hortonsbooks, it says the LM edition is also in stock - it's 6.00 kg when put in the shopping cart. There is no shipping option to France though.

 

With 330 copies (for now) it's extremely limited - so offer is definitely low. But demand is unknown, and could be even lower...
The EB110 is an interesting car, but how many people are willing to spend that kind of money on one book about it is anyone's guess.

 

I’m not understanding the view that more books are going to be printed/sold/available over and above the 330. Where is this coming from please. Have i missed something. LVP488 you seem to be in the know and would appreciate further detail. Many thanks.

 

You have to scroll down and read the small print. It says: "Delivery will be at the end of December". So, it's not in stock as is claimed at the same (!) Hortons website just an inch above.

It’s pretty perfect, although the model lacks the supercharger.
