Hi Facel! I'm also looking for this book,but they're very expensive!

I believe there's one for sale on Ebay.

When I last inquired about a copy, a French dealer at the Le Mans Classic event in 2002 was selling his for €400.
I thought that was outrageous at the time!
Eventually a car collector friend of mine sold me a copy at a more reasonable price.

The problem is, of course, finding one for sale in the first place. It is a rare book but I certainly wouldn't pay that Amazon price even if I could afford it!
Keep your eyes on forthcoming worldwide auctions of automobilia - copies can occasionally turn up there.

Many are offered without the English translation which is well worth the extra outlay usually asked

I've paid my copy for around 400 € five years ago in France.
It is quite the only detailed book on Voisin cars (apart from the two book Gabriel Voisin has written on his planes and cars, and a weird picture 'file' made by René Bellu).
Still, as far as I know, according to Voisin enthusiasts, this book is not very good, unfortunately ! Apparently, there are countless mistakes in it...
