    So I ordered a book from Horton's, the Gianni Agnesa 312P...and it is stuck in one of the thousands of trucks in the Dover blockade,...I ordered the Thomassima III 1/18 scale model from CMF...and the German vendor says we are shut down...Christmas tree severely depleted!...Of course I left it late and that is strictly my fault but still: thank you Covid X2!...of course this is nothing compared to what so many are facing and we should consider ourselves lucky to have our health....but 2020 will have been consistent to the end...

    For me it doesn't feel right when the medical profession (even after all these years) violates the privacy of their patients.

    I absolutely agree with you.
    But hey, this is just about egos and $$$$.
    Everything with the name "Ferrari" on it can be sold.
    A shame. No moral and no ethics.

    Many books on Ferrari are a criminal waste of trees (Doug Nye).

    I have the same feeling. Why do the media need to announce every politician or celebrity who gets covid?

    As to this book, I suppose it would depend upon how much detail it reveals. If it’s more about the author’s long term personal relationship with the Ferraris instead of a detailed medical history for each of them, then it might be worthwhile.

    I canceled my purchase when I saw the shipping charges!:eek::D

    That seems to have become a problem lately, particularly when ordering large books from "across the pond". There is a current aviation book from the U.K. that I would really like, but I simply cannot afford the shipping. The book is 30 Pounds, but the shipping charge is 50 Pounds!

    Forward by Jackie Stewart, recollections by Mark Webber.

    180 colour pages in a hardcover book with glossy thick front cover.

    Limited to 1,200 copies.

    I have no commercial affiliation.

    Yeah but buddy that link and promotional price is ONLY if you're a Ferrari Club Australia member, hence why I didn't post that in the general section.
    That's why you need to contact him directly if that doesn't apply to you.

    Right, I just posted it because there’s some information about the book, like the table of contents.
