For anyone interested, here are the books from the European roadtrips that Club Mulholland (formerly Gentleman Drivers CLub) organised in 2011, 2013 & 2014

There are some really amazing photographs in there, including plenty of Aston ones (my V12 roadster on all 3, plus a 310 Vanquish & a V12 coupe on the 2014 trip)

There are also many other fine cars by Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Lamborghini & others

Warning - Blurb books are amazing quality but can take a while to load so use a desktop with a reasonable internet connection, hit on 'preview' and you can scroll through the entire books - I'm not trying to sell the books as I doubt anyone could justify the cost unless they had been on the trips, just thought the photos online may be of interest to some

True.....£149 is a bit spicy for some holiday snaps but it does look a wonderful collection with some stunning photography.
The most expensive book is about 140 pages of large, best quality paper option with hardback but one of the real killers is ultra low volume - between 5 and 15 books typically

The photography was typically done (it varied each trip) by a pro or semi-pro photographer and then a huge amount of time setting the book

But absolutely, if you weren't on the trip, I can't imagine anyone buying one - that was never the intention although I guess anyone is welcome to buy ! If you were on the trip, it's an amazing keepsake for a relatively small premium compared to the cost of the trip - most of the members are proper friends so even photos of people other than yourself have more significance, as does the odd in-joke
