    Maarten,

    He has a book I've been looking for, but you're right: too expensive, especially when considering high shipping costs from Europe.

    No, mine is unsigned, unfortunately.

    Just a quick note, the leather addition in itself is a work of art. Although you are right you probably don't "need" it because of the photos are excellent.

    IIRC the only signed books are the 200 leather additions

    Jack what do you think of this book? I personally have to say it is one of my top ten. To bad the photographers of today can't get that close to action.

    Actually I just received it a few days ago and I haven't found enough time to relax and go through it. This weekend!

    I have had mine for some years and just revisited it last weekend. It is wonderful. I wanted to compare it to "Driven" by Jesse Alexander which I had also just revisited. The Klemantaski book was just so much better. I don't know how to describe it, other than to say that the pictures seemed "richer". Of course, the books were wildly different in price when issued.... I was comparing them to try and decide if I wanted to acquire Alexander's new book from Bull. I think I'll need to see it in person.

    Klementaski was often IN the action, shooting from Peter Collins' car...Enzo teased him his beard was better, airflow wise, over Jenks......

    I guess I'll come read your copy Vern......:D

    Ya'll just keep me in mind, if another good one comes up....

    I too have the red one on the right but mine's grey. Mine's signed and numbered (#23) so I guess it's a limited edition? Anyone know the difference? I presume the grey one is the 2nd edition - were they all numbered and signed?

    I wasn't sure there was a Second Edition, Nathan?......I recall the first run going out of print pretty quickly, back when $150USD was more than the wife let me have.....:D

    Interesting on the color covers however......

    As far as it's known by me there are 3 editions:

    First edition , Grey dustjacket numbered 1 to 1000
    Leather edition , numbered I to CC Signed
    Second edition (like mine) with Red dustjacket numbered 1001 to 2000

    If there are more issues please let me know, pictures are taken from the Ebay listing which i've mentioned a few posts before...

    Hi Maarten
    How can they print details of the second edition in the first edition?
    Can someone who has the red edition have a look at the print details and see if they are the same as Maarten shows? Thanks

    Just a heads-up that a bunch of my autographed books and other things will be in Jacques Vaucher's (ArteAuto) auction in May. In the meantime I have a list of other stuff (books, magazines, memorabilia, DVD's, etc.) that I am selling now. Ask for a list. Ed

    But remember Jenks was the navigater for Moss. He had the entire 1000 miles on roll out paper sheets [referred to as the toiletpaper rolls] and was using a series of hand signels to convey what was coming up next at 170 mph. Jenks was a very busy person for the entire race. Also remember Neubauer had them in Italy for many weeks training for this event. just one man's opinion tongascrew

    And how useful is a book you can't hold to read? No thanks.
