Bought & paid for but was told I won't receive until the end of the month
I went for the signed edition so don't know if this holds things up?

Paid for my signed copy and was told they were posting yesterday.
Do you think the signed copies will ever increase in value? Will also try and get my copy signed by Ron Dennis

posting yesterday looking forward to this one
all depends on printing runs i suppose, those carrera RS books don't come cheap now though do they?!

Book has arrived. Looks good. Will read it tonight.

Signed by Peter Morgan. Card signed by Hans Mezger and stuck on the inside cover. :/

Hurrah, I can't wait until Santa comes now, might be more giddy than my 7 year old. Been waiting for probably two years for this book.

[cragswinter]

Missed the post today so won't get mine until tomorrow, bit crap having the signed card & not the signed book isn't it?

I feel a complaint coming on.....

[cragswinter]

Right I got mine today & it's the same as Andrew's, basically a sticker signed by mezger stuck to the inside cover of the book.

I am alone in thinking this is taking the piss on a hundred quid book? How much would it have cost to pallet a load of books over to be signed? Less than a hundred pound? Instead they get a cheap sticker & put it in, what a rip!

Guys, where did you buy the signed book from? I can see the book on Amazon for £38 - are they all signed?

[cragswinter]

Google "mezger Porsche book" & you get a link to Peter Morgans website-it's on there 90 + delivery for the signed "book"

I got one, as a present for Christmas from my Dad.

Enjoyable read with some really good insights, but I found it a bit disjointed and it feels as if it was written in German and then translated in to English.

Good, but not sure about vfm.

oh I don't know, 60 quid for a sticker is a bargain in this day & age

Indeed. I got the book for christmas too. Just finished reading it. Certainly an interesting read, some nice technical detail, and you begin to realise how exceptional Hans Mezger was, and how advanced the 917 engine was. But I'm not sure it's worth 45 quid to be honest- it doesn't take very long to read!

don't buy the 'signed' limited edition version as it isn't signed by mezger. the advertisement says otherwise. complete rip off.

Did you get anything from your complaint? Or just the send the book back & we'll refund it that I got?

[agtlaw]

some rubbish excuses and an offer to refund. trouble is I've lost the box. I might burn it and send the ashes to Peter Morgan.
