Ferrari coffee table book ?

[jackal]

Guys, any recommendations for a large hardback on the road cars with lots of nice pics. Im interested in all eras but particulaly the 70's to present day and also covering the modern cars up to the 430 or beyond if possible. Lots of technical information would be nice too on the engines/chassis etc..

Not quite as glossy as some of the other books, but one of the best books on Ferrari is http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ferrari-Foulis-motoring-bo...

For the photographs, yes, less so if you're after technical knowledge. It was published in 2008/9 I think so isn't fully up to date.

Ferrari by Mailander? I have the Porsche by Mailander book and it's stunning

What is it with the crazy obsession at the moment of everybody posting links to Amazon products that contain referral links? Surely if companies are banned from promoting themselves and various people are banned from posting YouTube videos because of the 1p they make, then it is not right for people to profit from the posting of Amazon links. You can spot one if it has the &tag=xxxxxxxxxx bit in the url.

Amazon links are a convenient way to show the product - most folk neither know nor care about the whatever has wound you up

No it doesn't particularly wind me up, I post Amazon links in all sorts of places online and earn quite well from the Associates system, but for obvious reasons I do not use them on PH.

I was more referencing the large number of Pistonheads members that complain at the slightest hint of commercial activity taking place and that they may like to know about this one. I believe in a fair world and if the rule applies to one PHer, it should apply to all.

I just bought this, and the photos are stunning. Annoying technical mistakes though, particularly when discussing the 2010 590GTO, and the F430 with 460bhp, etc. I'm being picky, but these books should be spot on with the detail.

I agree, my old 430 only made 451bhp on a rolling road !

To be fair I wasn't bothered as it drove superbly (still miss it tbh)
