Holidays ?

Unfortunately we tend to get into the way of thinking that everyone is on the net everyday and checking emails constantly....... not always the case!

Same over here, never got a response either.

Cone on Simon, read your PMs!

Ouch.
I missed out on that one

I'm still looking for the 83-85-86 & 93-94-95 editions, but so seems everybody else

jna · 21 Jul 2005, 19:39 (Ref:1360355)

Gert,

Generally the prices for the six editions you do not have sell for good prices because they are not so freely available. Only recently £220/€320 paid for the 1993 book.

Four of the books you are missing were only printed in French (83,85,86 and 94) and so I guess this why there are not so many for sale. £90 for the 1983 was a bargain if it was in good condition.

Here is a current auction for a 1995 book, but it is in French.

This is for a 1985 book. Only French available, although as some of you may recall one member of this forum swears otherwise. Believe me - only French.

Beware, he will not post outside the UK. Check first before bidding. He might change his mind if you bid high!

I know these are the most rare books - I regularly take a look on ebay and see what prices they get. Wow! Even though I have defined several searches, I must somehow have missed the edition that went for 90£. What a pity!

Thanks for the links - I had already found the I-post-to-UK-only one, the other one not yet.

BTW: I know some are in French only - that doesn't matter much. As a typical (Dutch-speaking) Belgian guy, I'm supposed to understand French as well as English

Any version will do, as long as I can have it

Please - let's not go there again....... As far as I'm concerned, the matter is settled.

jna · 22 Jul 2005, 07:30 (Ref:1360610)

No attempt to provoke, but I couldn't help making that jibe bearing in mind the lengths I had to take to 'prove again what I already knew'.

Unlike gert, my French is sadly not good enough for me to sit and read the French editions with ease and understand fully what has been written. I would love somebody to translate the text, and I guess there are many others who would like to share in the stories in those books. I don't know if David Waldron the translator for most of the English editions is a member of the forum, but if you are, how about it?

Hi, I just sold that '83 book on e-bay and wasn't too disappointed as it was only of the few annuals I didn't buy new. That one came from a second-hand shop! I have thinned out the LM collection because the prices were just too good to ignore. My main interest is in the 1977-1981 'dark-ages' of sportscar racing - anyone able to point out and interesting books I should look out for?

I guess you will have seen these:-

Hmmm, I just looked at my bookcase and suddenly the $$$ signs started appearing in front of my eyes, as there's every year from 1977 onwards on it...

**Aysedasi** · 25 Jul 2005, 18:34 (Ref:1363132)

Lucky blighter........

TimD · 25 Jul 2005, 18:40 (Ref:1363138)

Crying in my beer tonight - just missed a private sale of a complete run of 1978-1993 inclusive for £495.

That's £30 a book...

**Aysedasi** · 25 Jul 2005, 18:45 (Ref:1363146)

Hells bells, I think even I would have taken out a loan for that........

jna · 25 Jul 2005, 18:45 (Ref:1363147)

That kind of mirrors how I obtained all the French editions last year plus the very early English copies. Meant having a few duplicates to sell, but oh it was worth it.

**Aysedasi** · 25 Jul 2005, 20:49 (Ref:1363246)

Absolutely. When was the first yearbook?

jna · 26 Jul 2005, 07:20 (Ref:1363495)

1978 was the first year that the yearbook as we know it was issued.

Banks · 27 Jul 2005, 12:24 (Ref:1364623)

I have got every single one - all bought when they appeared and all in pristine condition (having seen the prices some are going for now I wish I had the foresight to buy two copies of each!)

gert · 27 Jul 2005, 16:10 (Ref:1364780)

damn i'm just jealous.
i didn't have the option to buy them when they appeared: i was only 4 in 1978 ...

marcosgt · 28 Jul 2005, 08:03 (Ref:1365316)

I scanned eBay's completed transactions and was surprised to find a 1988 edition selling for about £50.

I guess you can get lucky on eBay...

Cheers.

jna · 20 Sep 2005, 14:56 (Ref:1412257)

Usually by now on Amazon you can, if you want to, pre order the book, but this year there is no sign of it yet.

Does anybody know when, or indeed if, the 2005 version is being released?

In English!
