VIP, Preview day March 26.

20th TECHNO-CLASSICA ESSEN from 26 to 30 March 2008:
The Classic Fair of the Superlatives

International Book Fair for Automotive Literature

More than 80 exhibition stands of professional second-hand book shops and publishing companies leave nothing to be desired in terms of special literature on technology and historic automobiles. Particularly the performance of British, Italian and French literature traders has considerably gained in quantity and quality over the last years.

Next to the garage, the library is the second-important place to linger around outside their car. As for the owner of a classic car it is important to have the appropriate literature for the car in the bookshelf. And if the car of his dreams is not (yet) standing in the garage - looking into old brochures, browsing through illustrated books sometimes can be almost as exciting as driving the object of desire.

Whether operating instructions or spare part lists, reference books or brilliant classic car books, valuable original brochures or low priced reprints, company histories or standard works on individual classic cars, whether limited exclusive editions or reasonably priced special editions - everyone will discover something at the TECHNO-CLASSICA. The offering includes both new releases and antiquarian literature. Many of the offered printings even cannot be found in the relevant search engines. And some of the visitors of the TECHNO-CLASSICA will discover paper dreams they even did not know anything about it.

The selection is huge - thus we advise to bring along a large, tearproof and stable bag. And if it turns out that a really rare title cannot be found, the old stagers among the literature vendors normally provide good advice…
