I'm interested in two books and somebody may be able to help me. Trouble is I can't remember titles or authors.

The first is about Scuderia Ferarri in the 1930s. It is an Italian language book, but contains a large number of rare pictures.

THe second is about Miller cars. It was published, I think in the early 80s. I know that Griffith Borgeson wrote a book about Millers but I don't think it's that one.

Sorry about the vagueness of this, but if anyone can help with titles, authors, ISBN, and possible sources i would be most gratefull

I am familiar with the Scuderia book though I need to look up the publisher.

The Miller book to buy is this one but be warned I saw a recent copy go for $150
The Miller Dynasty, 2nd ed. - Mark Dees, Motorbooks International, ISBN 0-9638084-0-0 http://www.motorbooks.com/

I think the Ferrari book you're thinking of (although I would have to go and look at it to be sure and I don't have the time right now) is:

The Scuderia Ferrari Luigi Orsini and Franco Zagari 1981 Osprey Publishing.

The Miller books is:

The Miller Dynasty Mark L Dees 1981 A S Barnes Publishing

Good luck trying to find them. Both were quite expensive books when new, so I guess they would be very pricey now.

A book dealer gave me this response:

If you mean "Scuderia Ferrari Racing 1929-1939" by Orsini and Zagari, this is available in English- Expensive $600-$700.

Thanks to all. Orsini/Zagari and Dees are the books I ws thinking of. Sounds like I'll have to rob a bank

[Jhope]

Dennis David: I'll have a look at the site, and see what they have. Thanks for the info. I'm guessing the prices are in American dollars?

They're out of New Jersey and yes the prices would be in USD.
