5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful Archive of the history and passion of a marque, August 29, 1999

This review is from: Ducati: 50 Golden Years Through the Pages of Motorciclismo Magazine (Hardcover)

I found the book a touching and beautiful archive to the passion and history that has made Ducati the global success that it is today. The book is neither a technical book nor a minute chronology of the motorcycle's every intricacy, but a marvelous coffee table book tat can be picked up by Ducatisti and non enthusiasts alike, even if you just pick out your date of birth or the year you started college etc. The archive photographs suppied by Motociclismo are exquisite and the quality of the print and ease of design make for a book which is truly a delight to behold. I am sure that the cover alone would sell as a photographic print in its own right. For a trip down yesterday, today and tommorrow's roads, it cannot be beaten.

This review is from: Ducati: 50 Golden Years Through the Pages of Motorciclismo Magazine (Hardcover)

This is by far the best book I've seen on Ducati history. Being a Ducati enthusiast, I found it very interesting. I can see that it would be very helpful to anyone restoring a classic Ducati. It is full of beautiful photographs and acurate information.
