26th-Z Posted May 17, 2005 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2005 This book is on eBay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4550027645 "All About Fairlady Z" is a soft cover, superior color quality book covering the history of Z cars. It is written in Japanese entirely. I highly recommend it and would love to discuss the text with someone. The book includes many historical pictures I have never seen, however there seems to be limited discussion about the export variants. Chapters cover major Z enthusiast events - Mad Mike is prominantly pictured and I even think I see a photo of Mr. B - Carl Beck The hstorical photos alone are worth the price. Two thumbs up recommendation from Her Majesty the 26th. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/15940-all-about-fairlady-z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
v12horse Posted May 17, 2005 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2005 I own this magazine/book and I can vouch for its great pictures and probably great text. The pictures are well worth it. That is not a steep price as I payed 35usd before tax at a Japanese book store. -Ben Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/15940-all-about-fairlady-z/#findComment-124194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hollander Posted October 11, 2005 Share #3 Posted October 11, 2005 Back when I was researching for Datsunews, the club publication, I came across the author (this was in 1974) of Fairlady, the definitive history of the Z. It was a hardbound book that was the progenitor for two additional volumes (my car and I were pictured in the second volume as we turned 100,000 miles right in front of Nissan headquarters in the U.S.). These books are in Japanese with occasional English captions, but the pictures are worth the price of admission (which was 18,000 yen in 1974).

AZ-240z Posted January 21, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 21, 2007 When my car was entered in the show at the 2004 National Convention, The editor of this book and his photographer asked to take some pictures for this book.I was more than happy to honor there request and was quite surprised that my car was profiled on pages 110-112, much more than I expected, upon receiving a copy from the publisher. I have been putting off trying to get the associated article translated, but I really must do this to see how my comments were translated.If anyone has a good grasp of the Japanese language and would be willing to translate those pages, I could send you a copy of the article.
