"Now that the english edition of #FERRARIREX is basically in the home stretch, i started working on my next non-fiction book. And as usual, research is the first step. I'm holding the beautiful E' QUESTIONE DI CUORE, written jointly by Clay Regazzoni and Cesare De Agostini and winner of the Premio Bancarella Sport in 1983. And a pencil, to underline and take notes."

 

Thank you. I hope for an announcement to arrive in my in-box from David Bull soon.

 

I just called Brenda a moment ago to ask about this. She said that the book was only submitted to her publisher in London before Christmas and that, unfortunately, she does not know when it will be published. Hopefully, her publisher will move the editing, printing, and distributing processes along at a reasonable pace. I would hate to see it meet the same fate, as far as production timeline goes, that Phil Hill's Inside Track has...

Thanks, Marcel.

Would you please relay the "9599" number to us?

Thanks

 

They changed the cover, as well as the author. The description also mentions never-before-seen pictures recently acquired by the publisher.

Not to be pedantic but it is Brenda Vernor.

I spoke to her a couple of time many years ago, very nice person but yes I don't see her spilling the beans or revealing where all the virtual bodies are buried. David Piper and his family are quite friendly with her.

Best regards,

Marc

 

Super!

Thank you,

Rob Manchester

 

Can anyone provide me with a realistic value for this book please? There is lots of conflicting information online with prices ranging from £380 up to nearly £700. There is also a review of the book by someone who paid £10 for it!

Robert

 

Any values would be helpful: USD, GBP, CHF, THB?

 

I post these here, because there are some serious connaisseurs who might be interested..

A friend asked me if there would be interest in the next 2 books.
Both in good condition, linnen bound

La Scuderia Ferrari 1929-1939 / Luigi Orsini & Franco Zagari / Editoriale Olimpia

Lots of pictures of very obscure cars in addition to the usual Pininfarina & Bertone pics, even Tom Meade is mentioned, here's a review. I hope he updates it with more inside-baseball type stories....

Thank you, Marcel. Can you tell us more about the contents? Will it be available through dealers or the Ferrari web site?

Thanks again.

Jack

 

I assume it will be available through the new "Classiche Officine" (the new factory authorized official Classiche Centers of which there will be less than 50 all over the world). One for each country.

That's great, didn't know about this book. Thanks for posting.

 

If you like italian coachbuilders, you may be interested in this:

Thanks for info Marcel, a very nice little book!
