Official book collectors thread

Actually the yearbooks started around 1947 or so but I was just agreeing that the format (as in it's size and glossy style) started in 1992.

Does anyone have this?

Yes! Another excellent job by Arnaud Meunier who has clearly collected these countless ads over decades, far more than I expected. I have not read it yet, it is in my next read pile but from what I saw when browsing I certainly recommend it.
FYI I have zero involvement with it.

 

Thank you, Marc.

 

Interesting. I was told it is not available/massively delayed because of printing quality issues?

I saw Arnaud at the Chantilly concours September 15 and got my book about ten days later.
The book is softback, nice glossy paper, I saw no flaws. To be clear I translated a large portion of the book for a flat fee but that is my only involvement. I also translated his Pozzi book for Eau Rouge Publishing years ago.

 

Does anyone have a link to this book please?

 

The screen grab is from the Librairie Motors Mania web site

 

Got it, thanks

I think it can be purchased from the author. I received an email from him a couple of months ago. As I recall there was a link to his web site but it didn’t provide a way to order the book!

 

Hi,

I can give you some more informations.
The book was available from 23 september but print quality problems (only on english edition) on the entire production line forced me to delay deliveries.
I will receive the new production next week !

The French edition has been available since the beginning of September.

You can find my books at leading specialist booksellers or directly from me (via my website www.ambook.fr, you can payd with credit card or paypal)

If you have more question, don't hesitate

Arnaud

 

Thanks Arnaud,

I just went to your website however all I saw was a generic cover photo and your preferred payment options.

Is there somewhere that lists the books you have written and a description of its contents with pricing ?

 

When will the English edition be available?

Thank you.

 

Next week as he wrote.
Also I checked his website, it is different but works fine to order.

 

Yes it’s not clear however if you click on PayPal it takes you to the shop and list of his books.

 

I suspected so, but it wasn’t clear to me that he was referring to the English edition.

 

Thanks for that.

Done.

 

Hello,

I realize that this may not be very clear.

Depending on your choice of payment, you will be redirected to another site. If you choose credit card, you will be redirected to the SumUp website !

If you choose Paypal, you stay on my site and have more information and photos for each book.

You can also navigate from one to the other without any commitment, for example see the list and descriptions on one side and order on the other.

It can be confusing, I understand.

Evro’s web site now says “late 2024.”

Ryan's 3.0 Turbo book and the 2.7 Carrera book are the true "bibles" for those series, although he would never describe them as such. Unlike some other authors . . .

 

Thanks, noted ... and ordered from Horton's, since the 2.7 book seems to be sold out everywhere else.

 

They may still be available from the publisher: www.parabolicapress.com
