ISO "Le Alfa Romeo di Vittorio Jano"

Hi, I am a newbie to the AlfaBB and I wanted to see if someone might be able to help me. I am interested in locating a copy of "Le Alfa Romeo di Vittorio Jano" by Fusi, Ferrari, Borgeson.

The reason I am interested in this book is that I am currently gathering research for a bio of Jano that I am trying to put together. This book is key, but I have yet to locate a copy of it. If you have a copy in your library, I would appreciate knowing about it and discussing a way that is comfortable to you to borrow it. Please reply to me off list at chris.bright.pdx@gmail.com.

Grazie mille,
cbright1967

I have a copy, and it's not for sale, even at 400+ GBP...

I haven't seen one for sale for quite long time indeed.

I'm reluctant to borrow it, but feel free to contact me offline (PM or email) if some scans or photocopies could do.

Yes, it is definitely a rare book and the prices at auction are showing it! That is more than US$1000 at today's exchange, right??
