[jotage21]

As a lot of us have some automotive book, magazine, brochure, card, picture....to exchange, what about a topic where we can made some exchange?

Reads to me like you just started it.

[Djetset]

Hey Jotage21, I think you've hit on a great idea!   

I for one have thousands of duplicate car books, magazines and brochures that I would be happy to trade with fellow Puzzlers for other interesting motoring literature that I need. 

For example, if anyone has a spare copy of the World Cars 1967 book, l'Automobile Magazine 'Toutes les Voitures du Monde 2009/10' (see below), old German Auto Katalogs, or sales literature on the Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato and Nuevo Giulietta Diesel that they would be happy to exchange for stuff that I have (I'll compile a list) then please do let me know. 

For example, things that I have that immediately spring to mind that could be of interest to other puzzlers include World Cars 1980, the McLaren F1 book, French books on CG, DB, 2CVs, etc., brochures on almost everything from the mid-1970s onwards, old kit car magazines, etc, etc, etc.   Let me know what you need, and I'll see if I've got it.  Happy hunting!

[jotage21]

Djetset, please, send me the compiled list to my e-mail, I´ll compile one too and send you with my duplicates,

thank you

[Djetset]

Might take me a few days, but not problem, be happy to do it.

[faksta]

Djetset, in theory, do you suggest a possibility of selling some of them instead of swapping?

[Ultra]

Put your lists up here to facilitate exchange the info with all the readers of the topic.  It will greatly aid figuring who wants to exchange for what.

Just sayin'......

Hi,

I am always looking for yearbooks with all the cars produced in the world : World Cars ( from Automobile Club of Italy ), Quattroruote TAM or the spanish Catalogo Annual from Velocidad and many others ; I am ready to pay reasonable prices for books in good condition.

[Allemano]

Currently I have World Cars (from the club you've mentioned) 1979 and 1981 to offer in quite good condition and various seventies issues of Le Salon De L'Auto (l'auto-journal)

Hi,

I have all the editions of the TAM, but you will find them easily also on ebay at a reasonable price

[75america]

I have an extra copy of the Ghia Catalogue raisonné (see for PJ's review of the book here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8980.0 ) that I would like to swap for an interesting book (or books) about coachbuilders or Italian cars which has approx. the same value.  
I am in particular looking for a copy of the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 book by Angelo Tito Anselmi.

I forgot to add that I give them for free.
Each one cost me few euros and there's no point in selling them to friends.
If you are interested, PM me.
If there's more than one interested, the only way I have to decide is to exchange them with what you will offer....the most interesting book\magazine, whatever, will receive them.
I'll decide in 1 week (more or less).

Good luck!

[Allemano]

Got a beautiful and very scarce book today:
The oversized "Le Grandi Fiat" by Angelo Tito Anselmi & Fabio Luigi Rapifrom 1967.
It's in used but good condition (if age is taken into consideration)

Interested? Send me a PM!



Original pics will follow soon.

[Allemano]

something different:
does anybody know something to remove musty smell from old books?
It would be nice if you can tell about your own experiences rather than something you've read somewhere on the internet...

There is one book in particular I am trying to find.It is published by Palawan Press and is called"The Bentley Continental Sports Saloon".Also the Alfa book "Allegerita"is rather hard to find it seems.I have recently sold a copy of "Time and Two Seats"which I would like to replace if the opportunity presents itself.richard

[Allemano]

These are quite pricy books...

[richard fridd]

 Pricey these days yes,but when new Time and Two Seats was discounted to £100,Allegerita £70?the Automobilia catalogue raisonne books mentioned earlier in this thread averaged £50 each when some were discounted around 5 years ago.I have never seen the Palawan Bentley book ever.a friend of mine is looking for"The French Sportscar Revolution"if anyone has a copy for sale.Also I see "Delahaye Styling and Design"is available once again now with leather binding from The Coachbuilt Press.the Alfa 6c by Angelo Tito Anselmi mentioned in this thread I think I saw on the shelf at Badgers Books Worthing England last week.richard

[Craig Gillingham]

Is it appropriate to place a wanted add here? there are a couple of books I'm on the look out for.

[faksta]

I think yes, why not?

I have a spare copy of Ernest Schmid's Schweizer Autos in good condition. 263 pages, B&W and colour illustrations. Very good book on the history of Swiss cars.
Well, it is not an exchange, because I'd like to sell it, but hopefully you won't mind me asking around. EUR 100 + shipping (max EUR 20)

[studhamsmudger]

Anybody have any brochures for exchange? I collect all makes and models made after 1970 but especially like the type of stuff posted on Autopuzzles. Great to hear from anyone
