4.0 out of 5 stars Great tech details & photos, but font makes reading a chore, March 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Ducati Superbikes: 851, 888, 916 (Paperback)
The book covers all models indicated with some discussion of the 748 as well. The book is VERY heavy on the tech details of each bike as well. The photos are very well put together. However, the choice of font was odd and makes reading the book a chore. All this being said, I would recommend it for the photos and tech details alone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ducati Superbikes 851/888/748/916 Paolo Conti, July 18, 2000
This review is from: Ducati Superbikes: 851, 888, 916 (Paperback)
Extensive development history of the racing desmoquattros with lots of beautiful and rare pictures. Written in stilted euro-speak; awkward phrasing and somewhat tortured writing style. Whoever designed this book should be shot. Very few captions for the wonderful photos, so you're left scratching your head and wondering what bikes are linked to what riders, what year and model they are, etc. Photos are not indexed to text in any coherant manner. Worst typography I have ever seen in any book; it is literally unreadable. If I hadn't received the book with my 851, I'd never buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A superior documentary of the quatro-valve bikes, October 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Ducati Superbikes: 851, 888, 916 (Paperback)
An exceptional book from a pictorial perspective. Good coverage on the development of the 4 valve engine and bikes, including racers. A good addition to any enthusiast's library.
