Not only the prices, but the concept itself is somewhat ludicrous.

Who wants to walk about giving free advertising to Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone?

I'd bet a lot of money that we won't see Laurel and Hardy prancing around in this kit.

You think that's ludicrous. Have a look at this...

Yeah, it's a bit weird isn't it? The Swarovski Crystal LTD Edition cap made me laugh very hard. Second only to the super-modern carbon fibre mouse mat that you can't use with an mouse made in the last three years!

It is, but I still want one. Badly.

I have a weird thing for nice books and expensive pedal boxes.

I must say when the camera is filming the crowds at a F1 race most of them do look like mouth breathers

It would make for interesting reading, but twenty thousand pounds for a book? I don't even know if I could afford it even if I sold all the cars I own!

£3,000 if you get the unsigned version.

Couldn't afford to spend £3k or £20k on anything let alone a book. Still want it though.

Ah, right you are, I missed the £3k version. Still an awful lot of money, but I understand, I also have a problem with coffee table books!

It probably has some fine photos (which would not include that one of Briatore sitting on a tyre).

I don't think that I'd want to pay three grand for a picture of Bernie showing the world two fingers.
This is not the first time that he has expressed those sentiments towards the rest of us!

And could someone - anyone - please tell me just what "iconic words" are?
If you're going to publish books in English, it would be nice if you were familiar with the language.
Duuuh.

I have just seen that it has more than one photo of Briatore. That makes it officially rubbish...

It could have a picture of Flav on every page, and still it wouldn't have as many photos of him as there probably are on the walls of his houses.

He does love himself a tad too much that one...

Is there a run on this kind of book ?
Manchester United printed one ? last year.
For people with more money than sense.

Rooney had the MUFC bought for him by Colleen, is that proof enough.

all of this tat at a stupid price is perfectly in keeping with formaul 1 - 'glamour' = more money for the same crap

[RobbieMeister]

Iconic words = F1 speak for bullshit!

£45 for a polo isn't that expensive as expensive things go, although I buy mine from M&S and Matalan. You can pay £35 for a "famous name" one in any golf shop.

That is not the FIA, it is Formula 1 administration, they are rather different....

£250 for a ring binder is a bit much though. Isn't it?

Depends what's in it.

I'll ask Mr Coughlan.
