Official book collectors thread

The turbo 3.0 book (which I actually bought from Sportfahrer Zentrale) is still there, but the 2.7 book is reported as sold out (or "épuisé" when connecting in French; for whatever reason, you may need to try to actually buy it to see that).

 

Just received my 2.7 book from Horton's... amazingly (for a book released in 2015), I got copy #180 of 2,500 in spite of the book being reported as sold out everywhere else (I guess Horton's made an initial purchase they have not exhausted yet). Anyway, at first glance it looks like a serious work.

FYI : For North Americans, several copies will be delivered by Autobooks Aerobooks in few days.

 

Can I get a clarification as to which book this is specifically referring to? So many books are being talked about on this forum at the same time, it is often difficult to be sure as to which book is being referred to!

 

I guess you should go to post #7404, #7409, #7411 - it's true that after multiple answers, the original topic tends to be lost.

 

Thank you! That does help.

 

you're right, it is 'Ferraris in advertising' book

 

I have a few copies of the FCA Annual Meet2024 book available. PM me or email [email protected] if interested.
Here are a few details for those who don't know the book
large hard-back - 11" x 9"
214 pages
Only 550 copies printed
Distributed to attendees at Elkhart Lake Wisconsin annual meet. Not commercially sold.
The first 39 pages are details of the meet, the attendees and their cars with chassis numbers and sponsors adverts. The rest of the book is comprised of 27 Ferrari articles (most 8 pages) that I wrote in the last eight years for Prancing Horse, and which are lavishly illustrated with original photos and historical photos from the La Storia in Rosso collection.

I saw this book on the bargain bookshelves at Barnes & Noble, marked down from $35 to $15. While I have plenty of books about F1, I decided that the lower price, and Bruce Jones' reputation, merited a purchase.

This is essentially an F1 atlas, divided into sections of the world. Each section has alphabetical listings for the countries that matter in F1. Naturally this includes all the countries that have hosted races, but there are also countries like Liechtenstein, Colombia and New Zealand, because they were the birthplaces of F1 drivers.

Each country has a table listing all the circuits that have hosted Grands Prix since 1950, with subchapters covering the more important circuits in some detail. There are also subchapters about some of the more prominent drivers, though some noted names have been omitted for reasons of space. There is also a subchapter listing some of the more significant moments that have happened during races there. Obviously, with so much that could potentially have been included, space limitations make this more of a coffee-table book than an encyclopedia, but it's a pleasant book to have, especially at the lower price.

Perhaps @Doug Nye could provide clarity, although the publisher’s information should be accurate…..one would think.

What suspense! I've already paid for my copy . . .

 

I didn’t have that much confidence.

 

Frankly, I didn't either. However, based on the leather-bound Enzo Ferrari - Publisher's Edition offer attached below ("free" copy of the Chinetti/NART book, "free" copy of the standard edition, "free" shipping, no sales tax, and 20% off), I gave them my money ($460, all in) just yesterday. Hopefully, Bull Publishing will come through and actually provide the goods in a reasonably timely manner...

^^^^I never got my free regular edition. Emailed them and no response. Probably won’t bother buying anything else they have.

 

From what I’ve seen here their communications and fulfillment leave much to be desired. I usually try to buy from the publisher because it helps them to sell a book at full retail rather than wholesale to a reseller, but if they aren’t reliable then I’d just as soon buy from Amazon. If they don’t seem to care about their readers then why should I help them make an extra buck?

Years ago Vic Elford’s wife (both now deceased) had a little business selling books, DVDs, etc. on the www. I used to buy Bull’s books from her.

 

off topic,
Who has this book or can tell something about this book?: Pictorial History of Cizeta Automobili from 2012. The author is Brian Wiklem.
I understand that after the book was introduced there were problems between Zampoli and the author Brian.
Can anyone tell me if it is a good book?

 

And a picture of the book.

Please keep us updated whether you really receive the three items. I still regret that I never received the Publisher's Edition (but a refund) as I think it's really a fine book with the Schedoni leather.

 

That thought crossed by mind. I've taken screen shots of their description. It is comes to pass that way, they can expect an "item not as described" chargeback from my credit card provider. If they're non-responsive to that, success is assured. I'll also be more than happy to let everyone here know...

 

Anita (and Vic, and their Siamese cats) truly were the best! I used to do the same whenever possible. I must have a dozen or more books, DVDs, pictures, etc. with Vic's signature...

 

I hadn’t thought about the charge back concept. It has been a few months now so probably too late do it now.

 

I put my money down on the book. Never received an email sale confirmation so I sent a message through their website. I got a response back promptly confirming my pre-order. Now all I need is the book…

 

If I want a David Bull publication I call Hortons. Never had a problem that way.
