The GT Endurance books normally finish in the $100-$200 range. It is a lot to pay for a book, but they are nicely done and great chronicles of the series.

Also, it seems that the only books that come up for sale are for 95-97, when he F1 was raced, does anyone know if there are books fo 98 & 99?
I haven't seen a '98 or '99 edition, but I haven't really been looking for one. They may or may not exist.

If you are talking about the Autocar F1 Road Car book, it is very nice. It's almost like a condensed Driving Ambition, covering the development of the F1. Since it was printed in 1994 it wouldn't contain any of the GTR or LM info.

Also: Is $110 a fair price for the 1996 GT Endurance book?
Seems about right.

There is a 1992 Silverstone presentation brochure on offer at $675 - wow - it must be nice to be able to pay that sort of price for such an item...
Yeah - that's commonly referred to as the Launch Brochure. That price is a bit high for the softbound version. There's a rare hard cover version that sells for more than that usually, though I have only seen them come up about 3 times. The soft cover is not as rare as people would want you to believe, but there are a lot of interested buyers so it always sells for a good amount. There are a lot of brochure collectors out there that buy them even though they only have limited interest in the F1.
