Ferrari book packaged in a luxurious replica of the V12 250 engine

Today, I don’t know a single man who hasn’t heard of Ferrari. Maybe there’s a guy out there who isn’t into cars… but honestly, I think that’s impossible. After all, even most women know what this Italian company is. Today, I’m presenting a unique tribute to the history of sports cars: the. It’s a story about the incredible power—or rather, the tangible culture—that this factory has built over the years. It’s more than just a trend or a fashion; I think you could call it a true car cult. I’m sure all Ferrari badge enthusiasts will agree with me!

Ferrari Book – global publisher Taschen

You’re probably wondering who on earth came up with the brilliant idea to publish a prestigious album about such an iconic brand. Let me tell you—it’s the renowned publishing house Taschen. They’re the leading and most recognizable publisher of outstanding books on fashion, design, pop culture, travel, art, and, of course, the people who created it all! Some time ago, while staying at the Krasicki hotel, I found myself in the reading room of that beautiful place. Instantly, my hands reached for Taschen’s collector’s albums and books. It was love at first sight.

The book is one of many titles about the icons of a bygone era that played a significant role. Taschen’s mission and purpose are rooted in an incredible commitment to culture and innovation. It’s about sharing a piece of our own history and the most fascinating events from around the world.

Founded in the 20th century,, today it sells its books all over the world. In addition to a global distribution network, the private publishing house operates an e-commerce website and 14 branded stores, from Beverly Hills, New York, and Miami to London, Brussels, Paris, and Milan. The brand is headquartered in Cologne and Los Angeles, with regional offices spread across Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Milan, New York, and Paris.

That’s why a strong dose of cosmopolitanism gives her an incredible ability to create outstanding and spectacular works, such as the Ferrari book. This experience forms the foundation for designing such distinguished and successful pieces. And Taschen is certainly no stranger to that.

Ferrari Book and Its Authors

Born in Australia, Marc Newson studied jewelry design and sculpture in Sydney. After graduating from the College of the Arts, he moved to Tokyo. He then worked, created, and mingled in Paris and London. This had a significant impact on his personal development, which is one of the reasons he became one of the most influential and acclaimed designers in the world.

Pino Allievi, on the other hand, is an Italian writer and renowned journalist. For many years, he has been commenting on and publishing articles about sports cars. In Italy, he is known as a commentator. While collaborating with Enzo Ferrari, he wrote a book about the history of cars and their heroes, many of whom he knew personally. The Ferrari book was thus a natural extension of his work.

I would like to add that Allievi was the recipient of a journalism award granted by Dino Ferrari himself. So he is someone exceptionally well-qualified to write a book about the Ferrari brand.

Ferrari Book – I’ve never seen a presentation like this

I’ve handled many luxury products, especially their packaging. They impressed me, but what Taschen did completely changed my perception of premium packaging. This is an exceptionally unique and perfectly crafted package for an already ultra-luxurious item. The Ferrari book itself is a masterpiece unlike any other, so the task was even more challenging. Yet Marc Newson rose to the occasion, creating a true work of art!

For me, it’s simply mind-blowing. The Ferrari book comes encased in a cover inspired by the car’s engine, designed by Marc Newson. Made from cast aluminum, the chrome has been powder-blasted to preserve the metal’s natural character, while the top part of the case is finished in Ferrari’s signature red lacquer—the very same used on their engines.

This is a huge nod to all fans of this brand. A symbol, a synonym, and a true hallmark. Probably no one but Marc could have come up with such a unique idea. And that’s real luxury—the very setting, or rather the engine itself, draws us into the incredible story of Ferrari.

The Ferrari book itself is bound in leather and hand-stitched. This is a must for the most luxurious limited collector’s editions. So all the standards have been met here.

The Ferrari book holds a piece of beautiful history

You’re probably wondering what you’ll find in this fascinating adventure. Well, all 514 pages are truly packed to the max. There’s no fluff or low-quality photos here. The content is straightforward, and to me, it’s reminiscent of books from the 1980s. I absolutely love works published this way! This massive volume was created in close collaboration with Ferrari, so you can expect plenty of photos you simply won’t find in any other available materials today.

The Ferrari book is a unique collector’s masterpiece that demonstrates why this brand is recognized by virtually every man today. The work features exclusive content from Ferrari’s archives and private collections around the world. Hundreds of never-before-published photos and documents. Now revealed to the public so we can together explore an extraordinary chapter of incredible victories and the heroes behind them.

I believe that most Ferrari owners are true enthusiasts who genuinely love the brand. That’s why this exceptional album could be the perfect addition to their passion. And although the price exceeds 21,000 PLN, there are still plenty of eager buyers for this book. When it comes to luxury—especially limited editions from prestigious publishers—there’s no such thing as a set price. That’s why enthusiasts from all over the world should have a piece of history in their own home.

Ferrari book – who is it for?

If I said this Ferrari book is for every fan or owner of a Ferrari, I’d be lying. This is not a book for everyone. I believe it’s an edition aimed at the discerning individual who simply loves the brand! It’s a choice made for entirely personal reasons, and that’s how I see it. Taschen isn’t trying to print thousands of copies, because limited editions are meant to have a set quantity.

In my opinion, this is also a truly original idea for a luxury gift or a present for someone very close to you. The binding, the book itself, and the atmosphere you feel when holding this work in your hands all bear witness to an extraordinary story. No film can capture this, because the book and the photographs within it last as long as we look at them. I believe these impressions stay with us, just like the images in this remarkable book.

I recommend it to everyone who is head over heels in love with the Ferrai brand, but also to enthusiasts of automotive history and everything it has witnessed. The Italian brand is a symbol of something that defined a bygone era. I believe that anyone holding a book about Ferrari will become a silent witness to the past century and to what truly happened during that time.

The luxurious Ferrari album

But I know, and I truly believe, that Ferrari’s book will spark a parade of strong and deeply positive emotions in you. That is my heartfelt wish for you.
