Joined: 27/06/2012(UTC) Posts: 3,437 Location: Holland		Hello, Faller has its 70 year anniversary. (The company was founded in 1946.) They have asked Ulrich Biene - well known in the world of Wiking model cars - to make an anniversary book for them. And that is now in the shops for € 30 and looks quite interesting. (ISBN 978-3-667-10671-1). The second pic is a 19 pages teaser of the book (PDF file). Marco

And dare I ask, did they brave to include any AMS this time around or are they still denying it ever happened?? Their 50th book was a disappointment in this regard, but it is still an interesting read of the history otherwise

I don't have the book yet, it's in German shops for just a few days, shipping costs to Holland is also € 17,- . I must admit that the books looks very promising, I love the chosen style and font and such. Marco

The catalog got me stuck with Marklin and have been stuck since then. Sure with they would publish in English! I have also used the Volmer models, but FALLER, has always had a special place in my heart, and my layout. Regards, gene

Hi Peter, In Germany book-prices are regulated by a fixed book price agreement. Books are sold for the same price everywhere. Special offers are prohibited by the law. I will get my ordered FALLER-book tomorrow. More about book-prices: https://en.wikipedia.org...xed_book_price_agreement Regards Markus

I always dreamed of marrying a lovely Fraulein who would teach me, total immersion but found the delightful native Nadine instead.

Steve, I must say that I can't recommend marrying such a fraulein, my first wife was German and I had to pay 12 years alimony, one third of my salary. And on one of bookshop websites is a very short summary of the book, it says that AMS is discussed too.

Didn't we have a similar discussion recently about this referring to Marklin trying to stop discounting?

In Germany (and some others EU-countries) fixed prices are still used on tobacco-products, books (and similar printed matter), newspapers and pharmaceutical drugs which need a prescription.
