Reprint / 2nd Ed Query

Hi there,

First of all, wonderful idea to have a forum. Good to see one of my favourite publishers opening up to it's customers so much.


My request is for a reprint or 2nd Edition of John Tipler's Alfa Romeo Berlinas. Preferably a reprint, because the original is beginning to look a little dated and a new edition would be able to include the 159 and updated 166 circa '03.

This book is quite scarce on the second-hand market, and the only available copies sell for ridiculous money (GBP 120+++++ ) for a book that cost GBP30 new. The Giulia Coupe book by John was given a 2nd edition by Veloce, and is an excellent publication - I very much enjoy John's writing style and the book's size, layout and quality are all fantastic. It would be wonderful if we could see a 2nd ed of the Berlinas book too.


I'd buy 2 at GBP35.

The possibility of a reprint can be considered, but the problem with this book is that we call them saloons, Americans call them sedans and the Italian word 'Berlinas' is not something most English-speakers would type into a search engine - so how would we title the book? The forumisti are welcome to offer solutions ...

Dear Publisher,

Do you have any plans to issue a reprint of Brian Long's title: PORSCHE 944?

I've been checking your website for a long time, and it is always shown as out of stock.

There are no decent books on the market for this model, and although a couple of second hand editions have come up on e-bay, I am understandably unwilling to pay four/five times the price unless I know you have absolutely no plans to do so.

Hi Josmar,

Ironically, this was not a popular book when it was in print. We have no plans in the foreseeable future to re-publish, but we do keep a constant eye on demand for out of print books. If the writer can find sufficient others who want to buy, we would take it seriously.

Hi,

Is there any chance of you reprinting this please ?

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jon and welcome to the Veloce forum.

Are you referring to Brian Long's Porsche 944 book?

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you.

No I was wondering if Autodrome could be reprinted.

There is a version on amazon at the moment but it is over £1000 !!

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jon,
We do have plans for a second reprint of Autodrome, but the current situation is that we are planning to publish Autodrome 2 before Autodrome 1 gets reprinted again.
