Might look into finding the Jaguar book locally. Haven’t opened it yet, but looks extremely promising! I’m getting acquainted with the Bentley book and, I’m quite satisfied, so far! |

These arrived from Austin tonight: The Famous Liners book that I was missing (I already have 1 and 3)…and, some other goodies…  The last volumes of Automobile Quarterly that I was missing! Now, there’s only one number missing, the very last magazine, which is usually extremely expensive!  Unfortunately, my cousin forgot to bring one book (about Astons), three other magazines and the last model that I’ve bought!  |

I’d been following this book on eBay for quite a while and, finally last night this one appeared! It had a very low starting auction price and the possibility to make an offer so, I made a ridiculously low offer and, bingo, the seller accepted it! 😎  The only problem is that it’s going to be shipped to Texas so, it will take a while to get here! 😔 |

Excellent acquisitions, I have some AQ books but not many. It's always a good feeling when one makes an offer on eBay and it gets accepted or you win the auction for a good price. I'm awaiting delivery of yet another old model garage to join the others in my collection. When I am in my local town I usually visit some of the charity shops, I have bought some very good books for not a lot of money.

Thank you, mate!  Excellent acquisitions, I have some AQ books but not many. It's always a good feeling when one makes an offer on eBay and it gets accepted or you win the auction for a good price. I'm awaiting delivery of yet another old model garage to join the others in my collection. When I am in my local town I usually visit some of the charity shops, I have bought some very good books for not a lot of money. Thank you, Paul! I still can’t believe how lucky I was to buy this book at such a low price. It’s usually offered at around $180 dollars. The auction had a $15 dollar starting price and a “make offer” button. I offered $18 and got it accepted! 😎 |

These arrived an hour ago! 🤗  If I like the Bertone and Vignale books, once I open them, I’m sure that they will be soon joined by the Touring and Zagato ones! |

I suspect that's a done deal already. |

I suspect that's a done deal already. HAHA…  I’ll let you guys know! I’m still stuck browsing/reading previously bought books so, I haven’t even opened the ones about the Italian designers yet! |

I took a short cut on AQ and bought just the one featuring Lamborghini. The Masterpiece 'Designer' books are on my 'to buy' list. I have recently cleared a shelf of Railway and other miscellaneous books and taken them to a couple of charity shops in our town.
