"Alfa Romeo : Legends" - Part II,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alfa Romeo Sportscars - The Colour Family Album (Colour Album Series) (Hardcover)
This book is essentially the photo outtakes from Sparrows' previous (and out of print)"Alfa Romeo : Legends (Colour Classics)." That book consisted of mainly photos of Alfas with the occasional semi-attractive model thrown in. It was a waste of money then and it is a bigger waste now.....
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Alfa Book,
By Mr. Einstein (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alfa Romeo Sportscars - The Colour Family Album (Colour Album Series) (Hardcover)
I was pretty surprised to read the previous post which states that the photographs in this book are "outtakes" from Sparrows' other book "Alfa Romeo Legends". Simply not true! I own both books, and each photograph in this book is truly superb, both artistically and technically. There are eight chapters: 1. Alfa & Alfa Romeo 2. The First Production Alfas 3. A Small Car From Alfa Romeo 4. The Stalwart Giulias 5. The Famous Spiders 6. The Alfasud Family 7. The Alfetta/GTV Family 8. Under The Fiat Umbrella Each chapter is concisely written and to the point - no overload of technical information, so that it's a breeze to read, and entertaining as well. But the photographs are the star of this book - each one skillfully composed for wonderful effect. If you're into Alfas, I'd recommended getting a copy while you can.
