しばらく前に Tom Tanner さんから、アルファロメオ2900シリーズの本、「Immortal 2.9」の改訂版が近々出版されると教えてもらいました。1986年(アマゾンによれば1987年)出版で、絶版後はプレミアム価格で中古市場に出回ってます。写真は今年のフェラーリエキスポで$1750で売りにでていた初版本です。
改訂版は480ページ、99枚のカラー写真と401枚の白黒写真、半分以上の写真が改訂版で新しく追加されたものだそうです。通常版が$300、コレクターズエディションが$400(アメリカ国外からの注文はそれぞれ$40増し)とかなり高価ですが、内容を充実させての20年ぶりの改訂版、ファンの方には朗報ではないでしょうか。私も注文しました。

A while ago I heard from Tom Tanner that the revised edition of the book "Immortal 2.9", which is about Alfa Romeo 2900 series, will be published soon. The original edition was released in 1986 (Amazon says it was 1987) and now the copies are fairly expensive in the market. The picture is the first edition which was for sale for $1750 at the Ferrari Expo this year.
According to the publisher's site, the revised edition will be 480 pages with 99 color and 401 black and white photos. More than half of the picutres are new addition. The regular edition is about $300 and the collectors one for $400 (+$40 for non-US customers). Although it's not cheap, it must be a good news for ones who have been waiting for the reprint past 20 years. I'm going to get one too.
