$180!!!! 
Have you never thought to look on eBay? Lots of people sell this edition of Autocourse, and I'll wager that a mint copy would set you back far less than the asking price from these guys.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that you're just trying to help, but you could have bought this book for much much less!

This is nonsense? I bought this book on ebay for just 15 pounds including the postage to Macedonia. You have to look at ebay definitely!

I suspect ej25 is only promoting this site as his yet only 2 posts are "plugging" this site...
And if you ask me after I saw this:
http://beverlyhillsm...ing-wheel-2001/
I knew I wasn't gonna buy anything there...
I've had the same Joytech wheel for about 75$(minus the BMW logo in the middle)
http://ecx.images-am...24L._AA280_.jpg
I'm quite sure it's the same thing and they've added a few FIA stickers along with the BMW logo.
Look at the closeup of the logo, you'll see the up, down, right and left arrows used as the D-pad on the gaming wheel!!! 
But I must admit, they DO have an impressive collection of hats!!!

£9.00 on EBAY - I think someone is extracting the proverbial - $180 indeed! Can a moderator put a stop to this sort of thing.

I fear that ej25man must be feeling a bit glum after he's become the happy owner of this annual. Although ebay is good in ways, you cannot always guarantee that what you want will be there.
I am missing the 1980 version and have not yet been on ebay. I do know that nearly every specialised bookseller severely hoiks up Autocourse prices.
Btw. after all the ebay praising-to-the-heavens, did anyone find a cheaper 1989 version?

Personally I haven't been checking ebay, but a quick search has shown that there's a mint condition copy currently going for under £20 inc p&p on there (Item number: 220207451294).
In addition, the cover shows Naninni driving the Benetton as opposed to Senna in the McLaren, so it's a bit rarer.
There's also a cheaper one currently listed, albeit damaged.
I'm not connected with the sellers in any way, I just wanted to show that '89 copies can regularly be found on ebay (although obviously the quality of copies can vary considerably).
If you're not a fan of ebay ,then abebooks.co.uk has copies of the '89 Autocourse for between £20 and roughly £60. They've also got 1980 copies, albeit at higher prices.

Shockabuku, many thanks for above information, it was much appreciated. In 1980 I had just gotten married and therefore could not afford the £15 (!) for that year's annual.
