Pre-war Jensen book

Post by David Davies »

Just a brief note to say that my book Jensen: The Surviving 3 1/2 & 4 1/4 Litre Cars is now sold out and out of print. I don’t have any plans to subsidise the reprint as well but would be very happy to obtain a print quotation if any or all of the Jensen clubs, or a group of individuals, would like to finance a limited reprint.

The best Jensen book ever! I’m happy that I secured some copies of it. Maybe you can use a print by demand service ( I think Amazon provides something ) for all who missed the opportunity.

The Amazon service is on basic paper to standard size and would look awful. It’s ok for a novel but not for 434 pics. The only reason many of my period photos come out reasonably is because the book was printed on high quality paper.

I would only consider a reprint to the same specification using the same printer, or a hardback version. It’s up to the JOC and other clubs whether they want to contribute to the heritage of the marque and look at some figures for a small reprint. We’re not talking huge amounts but I think I’ve already given my gift to properity :D

Or even posterity :wink:

By the way there is another small aspect of White Lady history in an article I am currently working on.
