The luxury copy will have a cover made in "cuir pork", the most often used material for the interior of 57S cars. It will have a reproduction of the chassis drawing on it. The dust cover will be transparent and will show the drawing of an Atalante, so you will see the Atalante factory drawing and behind it the chassis drawing.

The book is based on the research of nearly two decades, including the works documents which have been available and reports of present owners and pre-owners. The book has been written in two parts, a reading part with all the discussions about the precursors of the Bugatti 57S type, the prototypes, works cars and racing cars and a register part with the history of all single production cars, including period pictures and recent pictures. In the annex there is a large data-sheets about all cars.
