"The Lamborghini Miura" by Simon Kidston

Sorry!

 

One to use, one to preserve and one as a gift.

 

I wasn't collecting books as enthusiastically many years ago but can anyone remember as much hype as this one when books like Ferrari in Camera, Making a Difference or even The Miura Bible were first released ?

I guess times were a bit different back then... just like the values of the cars themselves.

 

At times, precious few items are offered for sale. Do you really need 3?
Brunei chap comes to mind

Yes, I think so, if you want to buy 12 Virgin Cavallino, issue #12, kept in an A/C environment, no pets, or smoke...go ahead.
As someone clever said, 1 to keep, 1 to give and 1 to use. Or all of the above, or none.

After all, it's your money, bitcoins, Vegas, Powerball, women, men, cars, and...books.
There are books that are infinitely impossible to find and HUGELY more expensive, so what if that's your trip?

There are $300K+ modern watches out there, and people do buy them, yesterday there was a bit about Cartier watches
being in shortage, I can only suffer...in silence.

This is not Cuba, thank Heaven! There, now that's another story. If you have to scrounge for food,
sell your kids to Tourists, unless you sold the SL in parts, then you haven't a clue. Miura books?
Please buy all you want while you can. Enjoy!

Regards, Alberto

 

I think I understand your point... but every time I re-read it I’m not 100% sure !!??!!

 

I know Mark, at times I ramble a bit too much, yet it is just what I mean. So now you are 99% sure
Please don't re read it...

Regards, Alberto

PS. In doubt, PM me and we'll chat...

 

Another ramble.

Had a couple of Miura books for sale, no longer available, changed my mind.
After all, I will never find them again at the purchase price. Really, to speculate with them
is not a great idea, at least not for me, I am not in the business.

Would life change? Not really. It's like selling the Alfa, impossible. Irreplaceable.
Spoke with a great friend, made me see the light.
They will be in greater hands with my kids, alongside the cams, the carbs, and the remainder of ...

Better sell a Dino Compendium, or 2. Or better yet, sell the Miura Bible.

Regards, Alberto

 

Be careful, I got shot down by several on here for saying the same thing about prices!

 

Well, I never would have expected it, but rambling back to the Cavallino #12, slowly but surely, all 12 are SOLD.
Bought the last one. 40 years old, not bad.

After all, kept in an A/C environment for all these years, do you?

Regards, Alberto

 

New photos of the Register are up! The slipcases look quite smart in white or black. The Kidston IG account announced they will be shipped at random in black or white.

. . . and read all over.

 

Well played

 

Cheers Zeltweg.

For those old farts out there who don't have Instagram.

...and I quote: "There are fewer than 20 copies of The Lamborghini Miura Register left before prices increase to £350."

Guarantee, there will be complaints

Great show guys, can't wait to receive mine...

Regards, Alberto

 

Are the Registers now printed and ready to go Steve?

 

Printed and sewn into blocks for final binding with covers this week. I have seen an iPhone video of the block - looks fantastic. The ones used for the latest pics with black/white slipcases are one-to-one dummies with brown paper stock insert, which will remain a mystery for a little while longer... If we can get a good quality video for distribution this week of finished book we will probably do an email update. Leather Jota edition of original Miura book now almost done - promotional material in progress - and first sample looks totally amazing.

Plan is to get some Registers to Pebble, and on track so far.

Thanks AGAIN, everyone, for your patience.

 

Still waiting for my Register.

Hortons has already a copy for sale https://www.hortonsbooks.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=14554

 

They are ready to go and will start to be shipped later this week, building up to full speed next week and beyond. I cannot comment on trade sales but it's obviously easier to put some on a pallet for overnight delivery in the UK rather than fill in all the courier forms. I hope to pick a sample up mid-week. Video of binding is on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRrh8SulHeT/?utm_medium=copy_link

THANK YOU to everyone who ordered a copy.

 

Thanks for the update Steve.

I'll keep an eye out for a DHL message saying I have a parcel with unpaid import taxes due on it waiting for me for collection.

 

Maybe they can send it as a present to avoid duties?

 

Love them too, but I fear that won't be an option.

 

An early delivery now in Switzerland...

In the USA, no duties to be paid...
It is educational printed matter

It pains me to see The Miura Book stored that way.
