    #1 "FERRARI PORTFOLIO";by Sergio Massaro; Epigauto, undated;English/Italian;large format;hard cover;dust jacket;130 {very exclusive} unnumbered pages;Includes just 11 models starting with the 250 TR and up to the GT40. Qualifyies as another luxury coffee table birthday cake book. Sort of a trophy book.#2 "THE CLASSIC FERRARI'Ferrari days in Japan 1984", Editor Munehisa Misnige, Sui pub. Tokyo; large format,hard back;158 pages of average color photographs; mimimal English/Japanese text. Nice to take a look at. Trophy book.#3 "FERRARI BY MAILANDER" by Karl Ludvigsen with Marcel Massini; hard back, large format, slip cover;384 pages;Dalton Watson 2005;All I can say about this volume is that Rodolfo Mailander must have been well known to many of the right people, knew how to make the best some of the finest camera and dark room equipment of the day and captured the very best of Ferrari during the years 1950-1955.If this subject is of serious interest to you and you don't have this book, right now is a good time to get one. There are a number of nice copies on on the market right now at reasonable prices. You may have thought you have seen the best, but not until you have an an intimate relationship with this one. And if you have it, take it down off the shelf again.. This is one of the great classics. Enjoy tong's crew

    No worries, was worried you might be offended but just found it a bit hard to read.
    Apreciate the reviews.
