Default Ford falcon commemorative edition book

Even though I get most of my automotive media online these days, I picked this book up the other day -













Written by Luke West, it features some fantastic images of Falcon's, both on road and track. Certainly worth a read or just for perving on some wonderful machines.

Available in several store including the below -

Thanks. I saw that advertised and am tempted. Does it have any new information or stories that have not been published in any of the many other books on Falcon or Ford Australia?

I had a flick through at the book shop. There appears to be precious little on anything E-Series and later, and since that's where my interest lies predominantly, I didn't buy it.

Very little unfortunately
Much more focused on 70s era but has the GTF cover and looks good as a coffee table book

Agree, I bought mine on line from Big W, it’s a little disappointing, and focusses on the 70’s for the main part. I was hoping there would be some better content on the later (2000’s) Falcons and ultimately a reason for the demise (from someone that was an insider).
