My signed copy of Phil Hill's book:

Ferrari, a champions view.

Phil was a great champion who retired before he got killed in a time when many many were dying. His stories are always enlightening and never hurtful to others who might deserve it.

A true gentleman.

A really good book.

my owners manual

 

My first favorite was the original Illustrated Ferrari Buyer's Guide that I bought and drooled over as a teenager. The next is the Original Ferrari V12 by Keith Blumel and the third is Nathan Beehl's Boxer book with my name and car photos in it.

 

I got this one for Christmas. Since I am such a beginner Ferrari owner, this book really gave me a good history of the car models. Now i can spot a lot of similarities in the F430 that are in the cars of the 60s.. pretty wild...

Inside Ferrari (Michael Dregni?) was/is one of my all-time favorites....lots of great old photos inside the Ferrari factory, detailing how the cars were/are built.

Unfortunately, most of the 'good books' are out-of-print, unless all you're looking for is a $600 picture book for your coffee table - just kidding.

 

I've got many Ferrari books but this one is still my favorite as well.

 

Only five...

Emotion Ferrari - Louche
Ferrari by Vignale - Massini
Pilote, che gente... - Ferrari
Klemantaski & Ferrari - Klemantaski

+many+ on Prunet, the road cars. Just wish it went forward a couple more years to the Testarossa/512 era.

Here is one from left field - Ken Purdy's article in True Magazine (1962 or so) - "The Motor Master of Modena". First thing I ever read about Ferrari.

 

Excellent thread - thank you.

Ferrari The Road Cars - Antoine Prunet
Making A Difference - AT Anselmi
Ferrari 1947 - 1997 The Official Book

 

I second everything you said, but if I could only keep one book out of my collection it would have to be "Ferrari in Camera". Not strictly a Ferrari book, but I also cherish my signed (in period) first edition of "Phil Hill: Yankee Champion." I am the first and only owner of this copy.

Wow. Congrats on one fine volume. If i may inquire, which edition do you have? The blue cloth-covered one, the (red?)leather or the Ferrari-red-painted-metal covered edition? I've seen the cloth and the metal covered editions. If yours is the leather i would love to see a pic of it, please.

thx in advance...

I have the blue cloth-covered edition. I wish I could afford the leather covered edition (which I think is also blue), but that would have been a huge extravegance, especially with the exchange rate being what it is. I believe the leatherbound edition is still available, but the cloth and the "Ferrari" editions are sold out.

Jack.

 

in Order:

1. Inside Ferrari

2. Piloti Che Gente & My Terrible joy - autographed by Enzo!

3. Ferrari the man & machines

4. The Original Ferrari 8 cyl & V12

5. Ferrari 50

 

Ferrarissima collection

 

Thanks for the reply...
Yes, the 2 editions have been sold out for some time... the leather is still available.
Stupid me... i checked palawan's site (why i didnt before is beyond me) and there IS a pic of the leather edition there... it is blue.

once a year or so a cloth edition pops up on ebay but for astronomical prices.

thanks again for the info
