A new book was just announced by MB Classic,
Mercedes-Benz SL – Six Decades of Fascination. Sadly for the majority of Pagoda owners who don't speak German (which is, um, the majority of Pagoda owners I'd imagine) it is only in German. While someone suggested to me that "there's no indication it won't be offered in English" I'm still waiting, as others are, for
Mercedes-Benz 190 SL-280 SL: Vom Barock zur Pagode by Engelen, but it's been 26 years. I'm not counting on it.
