Here are the two newest books of this section in my collection:
It is an Italian detective story, which was released some days before.
And new from USA is this one:
In spite of it's title it has nothing to do with the Karmann Ghia itself, but is only a kind of travel report.  _________________ With cordial "Karmann Ghia"-greetings from Germany

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.”

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.

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

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.”

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

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.

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:

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.
