Official book collectors thread

A nice picture of Jack Croul and his thoroughbreds.

 

I got mine too and it is nice and would have bought it anyway but the signature is printed. If I would have know this I would have asked Ken to open it up and have all the guys at FOA sign it as they have had lots to do with Ferrari in America going back to FAF!!!!! Probably even more than LDM ! HAAA Probably won't look at it as it will destroy the value! Cant believe I unsealed it HAAAAAAAAAA )) Just kidding I am going to look until I find a GT4 in there somewhere!!!!!!

 

What is the best book about Formula 1 (Michael Schumacher & Ross Brown)? Perhaps one of the biographies of Michael?

And for (Niki Lauda & Luca)?

 

Does anyone here have Jesse Alexander's new book about the Monaco GP?

Thanks.

Jack

Cheers

GV book??? Do tell!

 

The Gilles Villeneuve book from Hungary is available through Amazon:

Gilles Villeneuve: Károly Méhes: 9789631207170: Amazon.com: Books

 

Not a book but a picture, an original, being auctioned by Bonhams later this month. Wowza. And based on the estimate, $1000-$1200, not bad for an original.

If you search the automobilia section you'll see they're auctioning some sets of books, might be worth a look.

Another piece of literature that could be considered a collectible is the program that was issued at the "60 Fabulous Ferraris on Rodeo Drive" event that took place in Beverly Hills in October.

It is a 28-page booklet with card covers, about 9-1/2 x 13 inches. A 2-page introduction about Enzo and Luca is followed by a 4-page quick history of Ferrari in America, with photos. This is followed by seven 2-page spreads illustrating the 60 cars that were to be on display, approximately 8 cars per spread, in chronological order, with color side-view drawings and descriptions of each. These are accompanied by sidebars showing the F60 America, the Pebble Beach-winning 375 MM, a feature on Ferraris that starred in movies & television, a feature on the Ferrari Club of America, and a listing of Ferrari successes in American endurance races or by American drivers.

(Note that a few of the color drawings are incorrect; for instance, the 312 PB that is described is accompanied by a drawing of a 312 P of 1969, a rather different machine.)

There are also articles about other recent Ferrari one-offs, the Classiche program, and the travelling Museo Ferrari that also appeared on Rodeo Drive, along with some inevitable advertising.

If you were at the event, you undoubtedly got one of these, but if you weren't (like me), it still might be worth adding to your collection. I found my copy on eBay.

Would love a copy of that, I anyone has a spare they'd be willing to post to the UK send me a pm.

Lewis.

 

I'm going to purchase the Ken Gross 250gt book and Joel Flinn v12 testa rossa.

I'm trying to figure out which have better quality photo's. The original 10 years earlier (1980's) hard backs for both these, or their newer updated paper backs.

thanks!

I have both of the Finn books and would say that the photo quality is equal.

 

Thank you!

 

Also if you can recommend any other books on 250 swb / 250 tr in terms of photographs that'd be great! Always love to hear reviews / thoughts!
