5.0 out of 5 stars
Ducati by Tod Rafferty,
By Steve Midgley (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ducati (Hardcover)
I don't think that I can put my praise any better than Peter Egan does in the forward - "...you can never have too many good Ducati books to read or too many good Ducati photographs to ponder".There is a complete history of Ducati in the book but the best part for me are the photos, from the very first models of the fifties to the latest race winners.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Viva Ducati!,
By Thistle 746 (Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ducati (Hardcover)
A well researched and well written book with equally complimentary photography of the Ducati marque throughout the years. As a red blooded Ducatsi, I have compiled quite a collection of Ducati books and this one must rank as one of my favorites - put it on the coffee table or the prominent spot of your bookshelf, this is a good one and worthwhile buying. Thanks Todd - we look forward to more of the same.
