Dear Friends,
thanks to the kindness of Debbie and George, I'm using your Forum to gather some help for a book about Alejandro De Tomaso I'm working to (it will be published by the Italian publishing house Sole 24 Ore Cultura in October, international version probably by the end 2015-beginning 2016).

I discovered in this section of the Forum (and in the Road Trip and Race section too) a lot of nice pictures that could be useful for the book. However, it would take too much time to read every post and to ask to every member who posted pics for high resolution version, so I prefer to ask you to send me some files if you would like to participate to the book (of course, the guys who are working to the artwork will made a choice).

The pictures I would be interested the more:
1) vintage pictures: events, trips, races, you and your car, during the 1970s and 1980s. These are the most important for the book
2) mass events: meetings of many De Tomasos (possibly without other marques)
3) people and cars: we will have a final chapter showing how people still loving De Tomaso cars all around the world, so we are interested to show different owners with different cars in different environments (not just many - beautiful - cars...)
4) De Tomaso mania: people showing their enthusiasm, even in a crazy way!

You can send your file at: detomasobook@h-factor.it (the artwork guys and me we will receive the message at the same time).
We are looking for large pictures, possibly with high resolution (600 dpi)

Thank you very much for your help!

Daniele Pozzi


PS: I forgot... You could participate to the book also answering to our online survey at: https://www.quicksurveys.com/s/a4PJj

Sorry Denis, I'm not sure I could completely understand your post. By the way, it's an new project promoted form outside your Community: the publishing house Sole 24 Cultura entrusted me as author of a book (I'm a professional business historian) and our research group is in close contact with De Tomaso's family.

We are looking for unpublished pictures, more about people and the 'surrounding' of the De Tomaso's world than just cars (even if rare, lost and so on). Vintage shots are the best.

I know, it will be a rather peculiar book, but our aim is to try to do something different. I hope that your Community, all the De Tomaso's fans and even people who never heard about don Alejandro and his cars.

I'll try to give you some preview through this Forum, but I have to avoid to make the Sole 24 nervous about copyright issues...
A little starter: http://www.giomartorana.com/ this guy is the photographer who is working with the cars in the family's collection. He's not a car specialist and he's approaching the beauty of De Tomaso's creation in a very personal and original way.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and stay posted!

Daniele
