    I came across a book I found many years ago at a garage sale. It is a copy of the 1966 book published by The Automobile Club of Italy. The book is in relatively rough shape, but a friend of my wife's is an avid book collector and did a little research for us. While the book is not in the best of condition, the book does include the original (with facsimile Enzo signature) letter that came with the book and according to him, having the letter is where the value is in this book. The letter is in excellent condition having been inside the book for all these years.
    Can anyone here help me put any estimate on the value of having this letter along with the book?
    Thanks & best wishes...

    Yes, the book is not in very good condition.
    I'm open to things. I think I would consider it optimal if I found someone who has the book in excellent condition and is seeking the letter to go with it.
    It has been suggested to me that I might take some of the plates from the book and have them framed.
    At this point I'm just seeking information.
    Thanks...

    In normal condition Rogliatti's book goes for roughly $150-250. In this condition...?

    It's not really the book I'm looking to sell, it's the letter.
    Have you not read what I said?
    My initial research indicates that it is quite rare to find these books with the letter and I had assumed (possibly incorrectly) that there might be someone around here who has the book and would like the letter to go with it.
    While the book is in rough shape the letter is not.

    I have the book also with the letter but wouldn't put a high value to the letter alone.
    It's a simple print and would even be easy to duplicate.
    The signature is printed and the horse in left uppercorner is also printed.
    You can't feel it like in other official cards you would receive from Mr. Ferrari.
    Here are two pictures from my copy. Sorry for the quality , quickly made with my phone.
