Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 50th Anniversary Book- RARE Deluxe Ed 189/220 For Sale

This book and clam shell case are in pristine mint condition. Leather book cover shows very slight creasing from the ribbon used to lift the book from the clamshell case, but the leather is intact and not damaged.
We purchased this book new in 2000 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, California. We have owned this book since new. The deluxe limited commemorative edition is fully signed and numbered, bound in leather, paired with a limited edition print by Jesse Alexander, a sheet with thirty-three original signatures of contributing authors, and presented in an elegant cloth clam shell case. This book is number 189 out of the 220 that were produced by the Pebble Beach Company. This book commemorates the first fifty years of the world's premier Concours d'Elegance – an event that pairs automotive excellence with the style that is Pebble Beach.Specifications and Content
