Here I have the next book of this category:
It needs a distinc view, to discover, that the women is sitting in a Karmann Ghia.
The author of the book writes about a 19-day roadtrip through 6 states (Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Utah and Idaho) in a 1970 Karmann Ghia convertible. _________________ With cordial "Karmann Ghia"-greetings from Germany

The content of this book is about the story of "100 years of gas station" and it has - of course - nothing to do with Karmann Ghia .....
..... exept there is one of them shown on the cover.

Hello John,

that's absolutely correct
The COMPLETE photo of that location in the year 1958 shows it with ARAL advertisement, like it was already posted in the thread of your link:

Hello dear Karmann Ghia friends,
in this thread I want to show you some books of my collection.
These books show a Karmann Ghia on it's cover but they don't have any content about Karmann Ghia or cars in general inside of the book.
If any one of you knows other books like these ... please let me know.

This one makes no reference to her Ghia in the text despite the book being about her Ghia's car show history? _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it?

Absolutely correct
And the more it is regrattable, that there is no report about this event inside of the magazine.  _________________ With cordial "Karmann Ghia"-greetings from Germany

Sure ...... but the main subject of the book is not the Karmann Ghia in general.
In my eyes it is mainly a kind of a "journey description".  _________________ With cordial "Karmann Ghia"-greetings from Germany

Oh-kaaaay, haha, but I'd put this one in the 'KG featured big-time in the book' camp.
Regardless, though, she is fun to look at in that cover photo. _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it? Mending old things, preserving them, looking after them – on some level there's no rational grounds for it.”

Here is one for the list.
Some romance novel my wife brought home from a nearby phone box community library, because of the Ghia.
Published 1999. _________________ 1958 coupe |

Here we have another book, which has not directly anything to do with the Karmann Ghia itself:
Bernd Reuters was a German graphic designer, who made several hand-drawed advertisements for Volkswagen, mainly with Beetles, Busses and Karmann Ghias, but also for a lot of other companies - not only automobile producers.

I love that artwork. Now I know who produced it. Thank you. _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it? Mending old things, preserving them, looking after them – on some level there's no rational grounds for it.”
