Ditto - Grant put together a great book, if you don't have a copy - make sure you order one!

Thanks guys, glad you like the update, I'm aiming to do the same next spring & autumn (depending on the changes/new models etc).

Just a heads-up: the updated book came into stock last week and Sceptre tell me all back orders (including the US) went out last Wednesday. So they should be arriving any time soon... storms accepted, sorry to hear some of you are having a rough time weather wise.

A few people who ordered the first edition via Amazon have emailed to say they haven't had the PDF update. In that case check your Amazon account email and you should find the offer of the free PDF there, just respond via your Amazon account and it should be emailed back.

Hi Karl, thanks for the reminder I will sort an electronic version..... but it is unlikely to be available until well into (mid) next year as the whole layout has to be completely changed/re-vamped and that is months of work with all the content, text boxes and images -

At least you got a PDF taster to view on your iPAD with the free update

The book is fantastic and money well spent. The biggest drawback is that reading the improvements by model year lists may empty your pockets of even more cash (because you just have to have the improved air conditioning system, etc).

Great job, Grant! (I meant to put the exclamation point there).

Hi Scott, no problem, just pop me your email address and I'll get a copy of the 2nd edition PDF update emailed over to you today.

Amazon don't release email addresses to Sceptre Publishers, so they couldn't automatically email the update to everyone that purchased the first edition through that website - everyone that ordered direct through Sceptre's own site www. astonmartinreview.co.uk (space added as live links aren't allowed) should have had a copy direct to their in box. But every Amazon buyer should have had an email to their Amazon account offering the free update - of course the drawback with that is many people don't check their Amazon accounts very often - hence the reason I posted details of the update here. Apologies for any confusion.

Hi Dr G., thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed the guide - as you say buying an Aston is a slippery slope, you start off thinking about a 4.3 V8 and end up with a DBS.
I hope you end up with a fabulous new Aston very soon.

I've had the book for quite awhile & love it. Read it cover to cover on a flight to Cabo. Wish I had it when I was searching for an AM to buy.

Scott, your welcome to the PDF update... do I see a V12 Vantage in your avatar - have you change to the "beast"?

Tjf06DB9 - Thanks for the comment on the book and may I say your DB9 looks superb.

Aston Update - If you are thinking of buying new I have just been told that due to supply problems (the world shortage of various metals) all new Aston's are currently being supplied with the Piano Black upper fascia as standard - with no alloy options. Good thing the Piano Black looks great

I love this book and it creates do much clarity on the model year differences! Everyone wanting to buy an Aston should have this book, heck the dealerships should have this book
