Two years ago, my latest book project, “The Atlas of Car Design” was released by the wonderful art and design press Phaidon. Thanks to many of you, it was widely and enthusiastically reviewed in the automotive and general interest press. Even more thanks to many of you, the first print run of the oversized coffee table book sold out, despite its elevated scale and price ($150!!)
Selling out is apparently a good thing. Because today, Phaidon is releasing a second run of the book. It features all of the 650 cars, gorgeous offbeat archival images, and wonderful writing that made the first edition a hit. But it has shrunk the dimensions and the cost to something far more manageable, a mere $59 if you order through the link below. (Also, the new edition is a lovely steely grey, instead of the black or red of the first gen.)
So, if you were unsure about purchasing the book previously, or you thought that car lover in your life didn’t deserve such a extravagant gift, or you’re just a Chintzy Bltch, now you have no excuse. Click and buy right now! Maybe this one will sell out too, and Phaidon will let me write other books about other topics you (and I) love.
