Maserati Sports, Racing & GT Cars from 1926, Richard Crump and Rob de la Rive Box — 2nd Edition
Publication: Yeovil, Haynes Publishing Group, 1983.
Formatting: 4to, pp. 319.
Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains tight and structurally sound, with the red cloth boards presenting cleanly beneath the jacket. The text block edges show only faint dusting typical of shelf storage, with no significant foxing. Internally, the pages are bright, clean, and free of inscriptions. The dust jacket is fully intact, exhibiting minor rubbing to the extremities and slight sun-fading along the spine panel, though it remains a highly presentable copy overall.
Catalogue Note: This is the second edition, featuring expanded and updated material from the original 1975 publication. The volume is profusely illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and detailed technical cutaways.
It serves as a comprehensive visual record of the marque's output, encompassing both celebrated racing models and rare 'hybrid' projects.
While relatively common on the secondary market, copies in this well-preserved state remain desirable reference materials for motoring enthusiasts.
A highly detailed pictorial record charting the history of every Maserati model produced since the legendary Italian marque's inception. From the dominant Grand Prix single-seaters of the 1930s and 1950s, including the iconic 250F, to the stunning road-going supercars of the 1970s, this volume pairs detailed technical specifications with evocative photography, capturing the engineering prowess and timeless styling of the Trident badge.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
