    Has anyone else noticed the EB110 script on the slipcase glows in the dark? Image Unavailable, Please Login

    It’s a reference to the illuminated exterior EB110 logo on the car’s side panel. It was linked to the ignition. The book caption reads, “As soon as the key is turned, the logo lights up.” Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Having now had the time to look at all the pages in the book, I must say that I like it very much and the book has given me a whole new appreciation for the EB110. I am just surprised and a bit disappointed that there is no list of all the cars built included, with chassis numbers, colours, destinations etc. This I would have really expected and it makes this book not 100% complete in my opinion. A pity…

    I agree. At least the author has been working on an online registry.

    Yes indeed - that‘s why I really expected to see a registry in the book too. The information is available, after all. Of course an online registry can be kept up to date, which can‘t be done in a book. But at least a basic list would have been a must I feel.

    They should produce a Palawan-like register book and a slipcase for both books together.

    With so few EB110 made, the separate register book would be a very thin one though ;)

    No, I mean, of course, a book not only with data, but with images of every EB110 and the story of their owners as well. Compare with the splendid chassis book about the Aston Martin DB3S by Palawan. There are not that many cars, just 31, but they made a great book covering individual histories in addition to the main book.

    As such, it would be a wonderful addition indeed!

    Did you guys notice the feel of the paper they used almost feels like silk; anyway, nice touch on top of being a good book.

    Certainly hasn't been an easy process. I emailed photos of the damage, per their request, and then have had no response to multiple emails over the past few weeks.

    Pretty disappointing- the book itself is a nice piece of work, but the creators of it sure don't seem to stand behind it.

    Maybe they could have the benefit of the doubt - I have been told they will resume shipments only on Jan. 9th, so they may be on very limited operation until then.

    After many, many weeks of deliberation, I could not resist the temptation and ordered a copy (LM Edition), although, yes, it's a pity that the copies are not individually numbered, that a list of chassis numbers and first owners is missing and that the quality of slipcase production is open to questions.

    But all the numerous reviews here and elsewhere left no do doubt that the book itself is a pleasure to read and look through, nicely produced, and definitely a collector's item. I am really looking forward to it.

    I ordered at Hortons and the book will be delivered through the German publishers (who, hopefully, give their very best in packaging ;))

    They’re not really flying off the shelfs, like the ‘Miura’ book.

    The LM version has sold out, still a few available from Hortons though, I do feel they should have been numbered, Slipcase definitely a Friday afternoon project

    Did you receive any sort of order confirmation or shipping notification? I haven't so far after one week.

    Yes I have a DHL tracking number, that's what tells me I should receive it on Monday.
    I ordered on Dec. 30th but was told shipment would resume on Jan. 9th due to holidays.
    Then with no news about shipment, I sent an email on Jan. 26th and the answer was that packing was ready to be sent the day after. Indeed, on Jan. 27th I got an email informing of the shipment, with the tracking number.
