Subject: THE BIG CITROËN CENTENARY BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS
The eagerly awaited Le Grand Livre Citroën will be available in full for the end of the year celebrations. This is the perfect Christmas present for anyone passionate about the history of Chevrons!
The Citroën Grand Livre is the first book to bring together such a wealth of information on the history of the builder of the Quai de Javel. Texts and illustrations, often unpublished, tell in detail, over three volumes, all the facets of the first century of Citroën. The fourth volume, devoted to the appendices, brings together reproductions of documents, images and drawings completing this century of automotive history.
Volumes 1 and 2 are available immediately. Volumes 3 and 4 are currently in production and will be available for the Christmas holidays.
ONE CHAPTER PER YEAR
In each volume the period is traced year after year. These thus form as many chapters which recount the succession of human, industrial and commercial events that have forged the history of the brand. The epic of the century!
NEW ARCHIVES
Photographs, documents, objects, often unpublished, accompany the text and illustrate the story of each year.
