Aston Martin - The Book

[Quarterly]

Anyone going to treat themselves?

[Dobie177]

Errm... at £2-3k per book, I think I'd rather spend this on some mods for my car...

Makes Grants book look like a bargain... and immeasurably more useful!

What is this book ? Link please

[Dobie177]

This should be a link to it...

I will wait for the paperback version

[Gday2]

Will it be available as Kindle eBook?

From £1650 to £2K....the £2K edition comes with some tat and a roll of AM embossed toilet paper for when you're sitting on the loo reading it.
I am not a fan of this elitist style of consumerist branding.
One doesn't have to buy it,I know,but the price is silly.

I've just seen the invite. At 3,000 editions it is never going to be an art investment.

You can buy a Matisse lithograph for less than this if you want an art investment!

I think I saw a copy in The Wotks.

Agree (as most people will I think)
shouldn't this sort of thing be given to buyers of new cars, special edition thing maybe?
or even better to someone looking next week at buying a second hand Vantage

At a recent drinks party, I met a neighbour who told me that he was working on a book commissioned by Mr. Bonomi.
Whether it is this particular book I do not know, but was slightly taken aback when told that Aston Martin has been bust ten times.

Hope the book is not riddled with inaccuracies.

Saw the email "invite" yesterday.......ah a nice book I thought.........looks great I thought...........saw the price........fk that I thought !

I've already got the TeNeues "The Aston Book" and I've bought a copy of the book that AstonParts are flogging too. The first is fantastic at about eighty quid, the second a couple of hundred but I thought I'd treat myself (not got it yet).

I will get the yearbook though, at £75 it's a nice thing to have I think.

£1600+ for a book is just silly, surely that's trading on people having more money that sense. Also a limit of 3000 isn't exactly exclusive is it. Just done the maths, 3000 at £1600 is nearly five million quid...........FFS !!!

I wonder if Aston Martin at present, have the feeling that they can sell anything, at any price.

500 people want to buy an unseen £3 million pound car, with 350 bring told to go away.

Cannot exactly remember the other examples.
It probably includes £11,000 exhaust pipes and £20,000 wheels.

I suppose it is worth doing while the good times roll.

I wonder how it comapres to the books from the Palawan press, whose editions are mearly unaffordable, rather then bankruptable??
