    Would love to purchase this book, and would appreciate any leads on how to make that happen.

    Or, if anyone has a copy they would part with, willing to pay a competitive price.

    Thanks!

    Try eBay sir. Once in awhile it will come up. Try different domains also. Like US, UK, Australia. Got mine thru the kindness of sir Rob @Aquagraph :thumbsup: Got my copy at the UK but seller won’t send outside UK, so sir Rob gladly helped me get it then he sent it to me ;)

    Only limited copies were printed. Some TH boutiques give it as a freebies after buying Monacos from them, some doesn’t even have it. There were no available copy in my country even in TH boutiques so had to source it abroad :thumbsup:

    Thank you!

    I've been checking out eBay like every other day for the past couple of months with my fingers crossed. I picked up the 211P a few months ago and thought it'd be awesome to have this book to accompany it. I wish TH would just make a re-issue and put it up for sale. But then I guess the mystique would evaporate. I'll keep trying! This book has replaced all watches as my holy grail! Ha!

    If you love your Heuer Monaco CAW211P, you may want to check out the other SMQ book which were co-produced by TAG Heuer :thumbsup:

    Unforgettable Steve McQueen. Our dear speedster @Mspeedster can probably share his SMQ Monaco shrine ;) One of the coolest things I’ve seen here :cool:

    @kappa_md, that is a different cover to what I have seen for sale. Is there more than one edition of Unforgettable SMQ?

    It’s just a different cover sir @Mr_Orange . But the contents are the same. I also have the SMQ driving a roadster cover. But yeah, it’s pretty much the same. This cover is the one from TH given as a freebie. I was surprised that this book is basically a photobook of SMQ :cool:

    I'm now looking for the Heuer Monaco "The Paradoxical Superstar"-book.

    If you haven't read your copy in a long time, just want to sell your copy or comes across a copy, let me know!
    It will come to a Monaco loving home ;)
