Publication: Bideford, Bay View Books Ltd, 1998.

Formatting: 4to, pp. 192.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume presents exceptionally well, featuring a firm, tight binding and bright, clean text block edges that show no signs of foxing or shelf soil. The black cloth boards are sharp and unblemished, showing no corner bumping or notable wear. Internally, the pages remain unmarked and crisp. The accompanying pictorial dust jacket is equally well-preserved, retaining vivid colouration with only the faintest traces of handling to the extremities, exhibiting no significant scuffing, sunning, or loss. A highly attractive, carefully kept copy.

Catalogue Note: This 1998 first edition serves as a definitive visual and historical catalogue of Jaguar automobilia. With comprehensive photography by James Mann, it captures the diverse material culture surrounding the iconic British marque.

Locating reference copies in such well-preserved condition remains appealing for automotive historians and dedicated marque enthusiasts.

A quintessential reference volume for automotive enthusiasts, The Complete Guide to Jaguar Collectibles exhaustively catalogues the rich array of automobilia inspired by the legendary Jaguar marque. From Leaping Cat mascots and vintage dealership signage to bespoke timepieces and obscure promotional trinkets, Ian Cooling’s authoritative text is beautifully complemented by James Mann’s striking photography. An indispensable resource that offers a fascinating diversion from the full-size cars themselves, perfect for both seasoned collectors and passionate Jaguar historians alike.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
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.
