I remember last fall there was a similar thread about these books being NLA. I remember going on ebay at that moment and finding one for something like $35. I should have bought it.

 

Wow maybe I should put my copy on my homeowners insurance.

 

There was a discussion in the Collectibles "Book Thread"......but a stash of them was found....

If anyone needs something out of it, let me know.....

It's a "good" book, but not a "great" book, IMO......I used to see it fairly often at Half Price Books, I'll try to find a few for ya'll...

 

Only if it's between 'Mon Ami Mate' and Rob Walker's biography.......LOL!

 

Keith Bluemel's Original Ferrari V12 1965-1973, also NLA, is selling for ~ $45 One could always corner the market on those and sell them in the Vintage Forum.

 

I agree, Bubba.

 

Hi Guys! I just came back from the Ferrari factory in Maranello and I found and bought the last 2 Original Ferrari V8 book by Keith Bluemel, I was looking for this book but as you said people were asking around 400$ and now I got two, I´m looking for the Ferrari 308 GTS 1978 Owners book (Original) If some is interested maybe we can do something....
Regards,

 

Funny I bought mine in a junk shop for $1. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a few more.

This is better than the stock market!

 

Well, THAT isn't saying so much, these days....

 

$400 sounds like a bargain......compared to what Amazon vendors think the book is worth...

And, you're not going to "steal" one on Ebay right now, either....

Here's a "cheap" copy ----- if you know someone in the UK who can pick it up for you....

I have one. I can't believe it's actually valuable.

I have the 12 cylinder book too.

 

The 12 cyl is still cheap. Maybe I need to buy them up.

 

Last year this forum was saying how this book had gone out of print.
But here in the UK, my father bought me a new copy for Christmas for £25 from Amazon, no problem - the book was in stock...

Once again, there is much hysterical screaming and books beings offered on Ebay for £295 etc
Check out Amazon and they've got a pair of new ones for £21.24 (US$30) with free delivery in the UK... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1870979788/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275947092&sr=1-1&condition=new

I sniff a certain element of self-interest in the pumping up of prices...
p.s. I don't think it's a bible for 308 owners, a nice to have but it's not the be all and end all

 

Good grief! I bought my copy on Amazon (or eBay - can't remember now) in March 2008
for $19.95 plus $6.00 shipping! I read it once, and it lives in the book case. Guess
I should have stocked up back then!!

Askin' ain't a-gettin'




Personally, I think this Forum, used correctly, is a much better source-authority than Bluemel's book.

 

Wonder how much I'd get for my signed edition? Or my Japanese edition?

 

Mine will be pryed from my cold, dead hands!

 

That's pretty much how I feel too.
