Title: New Book: Mercedes-Benz SL – Six Decades of Fascination
Post by: mdsalemi on November 23, 2016, 17:41:54

A new book was just announced by MB Classic, Mercedes-Benz SL – Six Decades of Fascination. Sadly for the majority of Pagoda owners who don't speak German (which is, um, the majority of Pagoda owners I'd imagine) it is only in German. While someone suggested to me that "there's no indication it won't be offered in English" I'm still waiting, as others are, for Mercedes-Benz 190 SL-280 SL: Vom Barock zur Pagode by Engelen, but it's been 26 years. I'm not counting on it.

Mercedes-Benz SL – Six Decades of Fascination
Published by: Daimler AG
Motorbuch Verlag, Stuttgart
528 pages
Large format, 23.5 x 31.2 centimetres
ISBN 978-3-613-03908-7
69 euros

The new standard reference work on the SL is available at bookshops and in the Mercedes-Benz Museum shop as well as online through Motorbuch Verlag (www.motorbuch-versand.de) and the Mercedes-Benz Classic Store (www.mercedes-benz-classic-store.com).

For our American residing friends that speak and read German fluently, look on Amazon (just search by ISBN, not title) and you'll it for sale for about USD $58.

Thanks for sharing Mike, I did try The ISBN Nr. However I only ended up with the Euro price. Can you post the Link with the US price at Amazon?

I also came across the link below describing toe book a bit more.

Sometimes the links don't work because Amazon knows where you are, and there might be a reason why they don't want to serve Canada. Here is the link I just used and a screen shot of the two lowest cost entries. Note the second one is priced in USD but is shipped from UK. Good luck!
