Indeed interesting articles for sale, but beware what you're buying is indeed the genuine article, especially for the owners manual.....

A re-print version of these were printed in Italy about 7-8 years ago and these are widely available in English or Italian at shows with the normal vendors of this kind of stuff....They can be recognized by the very white cover and the barcode sticker on the back bottom right hand corner. (The label is not "easy peel," so if someone tried to remove it, you'll see the evidence.... These have been for sale at shows for between €35-60.....

The original version is mostly available in Italian, and has a dull yellow cover colour. (As if it'd been white, but left out in the sunlight....) The coated paper inside would also show signs of aging on the edges as the paper was not UV laquered, and therefore not resistant to sunlight. These have been seen for sale at €150-200 at shows for an Italian one, but I've not seen a English version for sale yet....

Hope this helps if you're thinking of buying....

Good luck, Nico/
