Hi m3ax, thanks for the post and may I say you have good taste in birthday gifts biggrin - I'm told stocks should be in late next week or early the week after... Updates include more detail on the GT8, Vanquish Zagato and Vanquish S, AM-RB001, V12S Performance Pack, Rapide S Shadow Edition, DB11 VIN information, additional inspection items that have come to light, etc - basically changes since the last print, which was April last year, page count now 312.
Here is a very low resolution image of the first page opener smile
Thanks Grant. SWMBO has been duly informed.

Hi Rich, nice to hear from you, hope you are aok and still looking after that beautiful Aston... you must have inside contacts... delivery is confirmed for tomorrow. Depending on the arrival time dispatch will either be on the same day, or Friday smile

No contacts, just checking in smile I get quite a few people asking me for Aston-buying advice, and I've sent the link to your book to several people that needed help figuring out the year-to-year differences with all the incremental updates that Aston does. I realized how odd it is that I tell people to buy the book when I myself don't have one on the shelf!

I'll put my order in this weekend. Looking forward to getting it, and I'm planning to do a video review on my YouTube channel for it if you don't have any objections.

Still have my V8V, and getting ready to do a clutch and flywheel upgrade in a couple weeks!

Can anyone give me the link to buy the new updated edition? Grant's link seems to take me to the 2016 edition.

Thanks in advance.

Apologies all, the website hasn't been updated yet rolleyes but I'm on the case.. the 12th edition sold out over Xmas and the new 12.5 came in this week, so all new orders will definitely receive the latest book smile
Even if www.astonmartinreview.co.uk says otherwise biggrin

Apologies Stylus I have been away! UK orders generally go out Tue/Wed or Frid via Royal Mail 48, this takes around 2-3 working days, but can take up to 5. Orders made by 2pm would go out today smile

Grant,

Just received my copy of your book - and yes I'm another one to heap praise on your shoulders for the detail contained.

Thanks Chris, although far from perfect ...we have tried to provide as much detail as possible so the guide can be used as an ongoing reference for owners as well as buyers, the first edition's 246 pages has grown to 312 for the 12.5 guide.... give it another couple of years and you will need a weight training course to pick up the book... ah great thought Aston Martin guide and exercise book! biggrin
Joking aside thanks for the feedback appreciated smile
