    Interesting, given that it's another book in French about Enzo's life... It's not impossible that there was some inspiration here...

    One of the best Ferrari books ever. Heavily underrated in the market, maybe because of its confusingly vast array of different editions.

    It will !

    Since the beginning of the year I've been busy working on the text for a book on hypercars for a photographer friend of mine - a commissioned piece of work, much longer than I expected, and probably not the kind of book we'll be commenting on here. He travelled around the world photographing the 25 most important supercars from the Porsche 959 to the Bugatti Profilé, most of them in very rare configurations. This is first and foremost a book of photos centred on his work, but something has to be written about these cars...

    Just received it; shipment cost to France was ridiculously high, and on top of that the VAT is applied at full rate (I suppose that's because the price is for the slipcase whereas the book is reported to come for free - so no reduced book VAT).
    On the other hand, it's a brand new book, and used copies are advertised for random prices.

    Which is quite appropriate - in the beginning of Ferrari the customer bought an engine and got the chassis for free ;)

    Shipping from the USA to overseas has become exorbitant and absurd. I received a model order from Japan, arrived in 3 days, the shipping was $30. If I sent the same small package from USA to Japan via FedEx or UPS it would be $400+ shipping cost to send. Using the post is now the only option..

    I recently had to send a small package to Ketchikan, Alaska. UPS quoted me $104, which was more than the contents of the package was worth! I went to the USPS and shipped it for $18; it made it there in four days in perfect condition.

    (Where did they think I was sending it? If I was sending it to Barrow UPS may have been justified. But Ketchikan is closer to Seattle than it is to Anchorage!)

    Very good, it would have needed truly exceptional circumstances to get the book (and/or slipcase) damaged.

    I just bought this on eBay from a highly rated seller for $51 including shipping. The seller has 9 copies left if you’re interested. Amazon is still >$80.

    Thanks but too late. I don’t know what their shipping charges are since they want you to create an account to find out,

    Splendid, how much is shipping to Germany? The order form and website don't give any information.
