Services
Most of our books are produced in more than one limited edition - usually a standard clothbound edition enclosed in a slipcase and a leatherbound edition encased in a drop-back Solander box. For some titles there is a special owners' edition, numbered with the chassis numbers of the original cars, which can include extras, such as limited edition prints, additional books and brass or aluminium plaques.
