Is the Ds book any good, I've not seen one available although I've heard about it.
Think I'll have a bid. The other official Cit book is very good with some interesting
development stuff. There was one on £4.99 buy-it-now with free postage a week or so back!

Hi Paul,
I've had one of the XM books now for many years, I've had a look thro' it when I first bought it but to-date I've not read it from cover to cover yet
I also have a couple of the 1:18 scale Solido XM model dealer promotion cars

The local Citroen dealer had a pile he didn't know what to do with in his brochure cupboard
and very kindly let me have one for nowt knowing I'm a real sad Citroen geek. Nice enough job really
although the tone is very much a pr gloss with a hint of self congratulation! Decent photograhy too.
The model was commissioned by Citroen for the launch the same as the book and a nice job done of
it too with a special box to match the brochure.

I've always been into car literature and it's why I'm now a graphic designer ever since I was a Ninja
brochurestealer nipper!!

Speaking about new Citroen books, there appears to be a NEW BOL (aka Haynes Book of lies) for the C5!!
One for Chris and steelcityuk!?

The XM books are good, there is another one I have by Jan P Norbye, its another good read.

I got the C5 BOL for my old boy as well. I haven't had much of a look at it yet, but I suspect that it will be handy for using on the C6 as well (if I get one), both having Hydractive 3+

The Norbye book is the better (more informative of the two though it
wastes a lot of space being multi language (German/English/Italian IIRC)
The photography is still very good and the narrative isn't so 'lick-ass'.
Bought the book at the NEC Motorshow years back for £2!!

<<EDIT = Text in Italian, English and French>> It's all foreign to me...

Jings, I wish I go mine for £2. The Norbye book is harder to get a hold of, I think I paid full price for it. I got the Sauzay book for nothing on e-bay.

Andrew,

Since you like brochures, have you got the Quatre Saisons CX book? Created for the Launch of the CX in the USA in 1979

[andmcit]

Yep. a great book; I'd recommend it to any CX fan! Thanks for mentioning it Robert,
I only discovered this a couple of years back!
