Very nice! I remember having seen a couple of those! I thought you might have had a couple of these. I'm going to look for the Independents book. Just my thing. Lots of production information and a brief history of each make. Next is some single marque books. I used to have a TON of Porsche books but paired them way down as many of them were just regurgitating the same info. You will be seeing more once I snap the next shelf. Who could pass on a coffee table sized book on Aston Martin? The Prices were so good I even bought one on BMW And a couple of Ferrari And we certainly cannot forget Jaguar And rounding things out will be Corvettes and Mustangs

Nice batch Jeff! I have quite a few of these: Aston, BMW, the second Ferrari book, the first Jaguar book. I really need some Corvette books, mine is terribly out of date and not too informative.

The Lehbrink / Schlegelmilch Ferrari book seems to be a popular choice - it's on my shelves as well.

Very nice selection, Jeff! I see that we share that Aston book and that you’re also a Half Price Books’ client!

I'm interested to know more about this 'Half Price Brooks'? We don't have those in Florida, high illiteracy rates perhaps ? Do you gents buy from them online too? Saw some great titles at decent prices. Trust that the grading system is reliable? Tell what you know?

Don't buy just yet, I have some more Vette books to show. The Lehbrink / Schlegelmilch Ferrari book seems to be a popular choice - it's on my shelves as well. Good and chep, just how I like them. Very nice selection, Jeff! I see that we share that Aston book and that you’re also a Half Price Books’ client! Sadly ours closed a few years ago. Very nice selection, Jeff!

Tell what you know? Never had a problem with them Brooks, but as above, we no longer have one locally. It is now a Starbucks Speaking of single make books....

I love visiting their stores in Texas and buying the books, and sometimes CDs and DVDs too, there! Their prices are unbelievable! Sounds like a place I would love to visit, particularly in my younger days when I bought well over 1,000 CDs. I've slowed the pace of everything for years though and have sold much of it all. If memory serves, I remember visiting a store that sounds very much like what you & Jeff have described. It was about 15 years ago in Orlando, Florida. Guessing it may have been the same chain? Store was not so far from the heart of the tourist/hotel district off International Drive. Didn't buy anything, but they too had mind-bogglinly LOW prices!

There are several Half Price Books stores in the Austin and San Antonio areas, and they are a must for me to visit everytime I’m there! Unfortunately, with the pandemic and the current economic situation, I haven’t been to the US since 2019.

Quite the collection of Benz books, Jeff! I think I have one and it's nothing special either... One good thing, there are plenty of good MB books out there. Wow! Now I understand the many Mercedes models in your collection! It is a favorite subject of mine. I'm interested to know more about this 'Half Price Brooks'?

Tell what you know? I love visiting their stores in Texas and buying the books, and sometimes CDs and DVDs too, there! Their prices are unbelievable! People in Florida illiterate? You must be joking LOL Worth a visit if you can find one. bet you won't leave without buying. A very interesting book with loads of period advertising. Another car I admire A bargain shop pickup simply because I did not have anything on the subject. Its better than I thought it would be. A gift from a former forum member, some good reading inside. An excellent book on a fantastic collection.
