Is it a reprint? If not, it must've been stored sealed in an airconditioned vault. The condition looks new, amazing for a catalogue that's around 50 years old.

It is in very good condition. My only thought may be that it has been found in storage somewhere.

·Nice pick up! I have the same one and wondered the same thing. Is the condition of it too good to be real? With mine the pages are somewhat thick with a very matte finish, definitely not glossy. Also, the pictures are a bit blurry as well, but then again this is from the '70s so...
Enjoy! 👍

I have several books and magazines from the early and mid 70s, rarely read, left on a bookcase. There's always some yellowing that occurs on the white pages. Then there's the sniff test, very old books and magazines have a certain smell. Newer printed stuff has a different smell.

·I got mine a few years ago. Definitely has an older type stench to it. With broad and thick staples, like you can’t buy anymore, binding it all together. But still, is it really authentic and from that era?
Oh and btw Anthony, also ebay and mine came from Los Angeles.

Same thick staples. Mine came in plastic sleeve so maybe it was preserved like that?

If it passed the sniff test, it's probably not a fresh reprint. OnTheDash (@Jeff Stein) has this '72 Chronograph Catalog on-line: http://www.onthedash.com/document/1972-chronograph-catalog/
Here's OTD's picture of the page with the Ferrari 312PB (Car no. 10, driven by Ronnie Peterson). Looks very similar, even the staples. Although the position of the upper staple looks a little higher compared to yours; the staple is centered on the darkened tire mark on the road, on yours its half on the tire mark, half below. Also, I noticed the right edge of the car is more cut off on yours, the picture on OTD has slightly more of the car at the very edge, you can tell by the yellow decal above the headlight.
In addition, the back of the catalogue on OTD has the yellowing I'd expect on paper from 53 years ago. Which amazingly seems lacking on yours and Anthony's. So with these differences, it's unclear if they're 70s originals.

·Either way, I paid less than 40 bucks and am quite happy with the info and images within it. Back in the day it used to pop up once or twice a year. Not sure about lately though.
