The 60th Anniversary Carrera book situation turns out to be relatively simple:

In September, TAG Heuer will publish the "coffee table" book / full version.

At Watches and Wonders, TAG Heuer released a short preview of the book (shown below, with red cover / box), which is approximately 60 pages.

Ok, so he was still writing 1996-2023.... hence the other 324 pages.

This is not correct . . . the short preview volume (approximately 60 pages) provides coverage from the pre-Carreras through the newest Carreras, released in 2023.

Thanks Jeff. So is the TAG Heuer "full version" the same book as Nicholas's book that's available for pre-order on Amazon?

Because if it's the same, there's a chance I might be able to get one from my Boutique, instead of ordering from Amazon.

Oh good, that gives me hope!

Yes, I believe that this is correct.
There is only one full version / coffee table book for the 60th Anniversary of the Carrera. I have no idea how it works in terms of getting set up for Amazon . . . with Nick as the author, TAG Heuer as the author, etc. But there will be only the one definitive book.

Yep, advice is order now at the discount. My order says it'll be £55.79 since I ordered a few months back.

Two versions of the book.
Different publishers, slightly different cover and different number of pages.
One is a lot cheaper, also hardcover.
Weird.

Book 1
Book 2
