I was browsing Amazon and ran across a new 914 book. Not yet published.

The Amazon price has now dropped to $102, still not exactly cheap. The prices of books from Veloce Publishing often seem to start out high and sometimes come down, perhaps based on demand. I don't know if "limited edition of 1500 copies" and a subject of the 914 will mean the price will remain as is or come down further. Or if there will be a paperback edition later on. We need someone in the auto book business to comment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
As for book quality, I have the two Alpine & Renault Sports Prototypes books by Roy P Smith, and think they are both good, so I hope the 914 book is also good. I would like to know how extensive the coverage of the 914 in US competition is. |

If that is the case, it will be about 400 pages long. So a fairly large book. |
