Giunti is a big publisher from Florence, but pretty "new" to the automotive sector.
Speaking about the Italian market and related difficulties, Automobilia, for example, is anymore existing and so on...

Andrea: Of course I meant Giusti and not Giunti in realtion to Casa 'dell Auto/Testadoro. I am getting old, and my mind does not work as well as it once did. 
I did not know that Nada sold his business, or that Automobilia has gone out of business completely. Does Nada still own Libreria 'dell Automobile, or did he sell that too? I have never been a big fan of Nada. Doing business with him was always difficult for me. I would go to Libreria 'dell Automobile, buy $2000 or more worth of books, than have to wait 6 months for them to arrive.
The situation is similar here in the US. Today, there are only 3 or 4 companies publishing car books. There are only 4 or 5 good stores for car books in the entire US, and all but one of them NOT import anything that is not in English (or English plus some other language)! Most of the books on obscure American cars are self-published today.
