I pre-ordered this book from a German website months ago.
Of course, we've waited for this book for over 25 years (!)
The postman delivered it yesterday evening and I started reading it immediately until I fell asleep whilst doing so around two o'clock at night. :laugh:
I want to ask something a bit different: What are the good magazines this days for Rallying in English language?
Pacenotes (monthly), concentrating mainly on Irish and UK rallying: Pacenotes Rally Magazine
Motorsport News (weekly newspaper), good rallying coverage: Motorsport News - The Voice of British Motorsport
Autosport (weekly), WRC reports and limited rallying news: autosport.com - the authority on Formula One, F1, MotoGP, WRC, IndyCar, GP2, F2, Le Mans, NASCAR and more
Carsport (bi-monthly), Irish rallying: CarSport************* Ireland's No1 Motoring Magazine - CarSport Magazine
This year's official WRC yearbook is out: WRC Face to Face 2012 - now available!
Fantastic!
I wish Reinhard Klein would do an updated version of his Rally Cars-book.
Same, but it's only been twelve years, and the authors wrote in the foreword that they only wanted to pick the most influential cars since the inception of organised rallying. While there have undoubtedly been several influential cars in the time since it was published, I cannot help but think that there would not be enough content to justify an update. Maybe in another twelve years, then.Quote:

I came across this today. Does anyone know if this book worth it? Does it provide any 'unknown' stories technical details etc? Or just results and rally reviews?
I've just ordered Graham Robson's new Ford Escort book from a well known online place. (Works Escorts In Detail: Ford's Rear-Wheel-Drive Competition Escorts, car-by-car). I did see it for sale at Foyles in London but as it is fairly heavy and I already had way too much stuff, I didn't end up buying it. The online price and postage will end up costing me about the same and I didn't have to lug it round with me!
Found this today about escort wrc...

These are my latest books.
The books contains photos by Holger & Marita Eklund who were THE Finnish motorsport photographers.
Their legacy is estimated to contain about 500.000 photos and negatives from mid-50 to mid-90. Their home burned in 2004. Fortunately most of the photos and negatives stored in the basement was saved but the whole archive was mixed up in black plastic bags.
Part 1 was published in 2009 and part 2 2011.
Among others nice photos of a Popeda (1958) and a Volga (1959) going sideways in Hankiralli. :D
Part 1 has 30 pages of Finnish rallies and 10 pages of international rallies, mostly Monte and RAC. Part 2 has 31 pages on Finnish rallies and 18 pages of international rallies. Part 2 has the captions also in English.
