Ferrari hardcover uitgave - Het officiële boek 1947-1997 (id-26)
1998 German edition of the prestigious book published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the house of Maranello and sponsored by Ferrari itself.
The 408 pages of this imposing work are divided into two main parts: the technical part and the historical part. The technical part, entitled "Le idea - The ideas", is written by Karl Ludvigsen and gives a lengthy account of the technological innovations introduced by Ferrari from 1947 to the present.
The historical part entitled "Le opere ei giorni - The works and the days" is written by Gianni Cancellieri and is divided into chapters, one for each decade, describing Ferrari's history from an industrial, sporting and human point of view. For the first time, the drivers on these pages talk about Ferrari and not the other way around, as in the past for the books written by Enzo Ferrari.
The appendix gives the catalog and the silhouettes of all the cars realized by Ferrari, the list of the men who in these fifty years have contributed to the construction of the myth of the prancing horse (presidents, technicians, teams, drivers, etc.), and sports records.
This edition includes the accompanying hardcover folder, which is not often offered together. A total weight of almost 3 kg! The overall condition is good. A date and name are written in pen on the inside.
A fantastic edition that should not be missing in the collection of a true Ferrari enthusiast!
