Not as loud as some of the thick, glossy Ferrari books around, this small book tells the story of the Maranello house and its machines in a simple, chronological order and with sufficient detail. but without being overwhelming. Fllled with very attractive pictures.

I own a few Ferrari books, but this small gem is my favorite. BTW, the Jaguar book from the same collection is not bad either!

This is an excellent photographic review of Ferrari road cars through the years, but there are some unfortunate editing or typographical errors:
--The "308s" shown in the first photo in its chapter are actually 328s, a type which isn't even mentioned.
--The "512M" version of the Testarossa primarily featured in its chapter is actually a 512TR, the second iteration of the series. The photo on the next page is of an actual F512M, the closest one actually gets to the fictitious "512M" designation.
--The first photo shown in the 550 Maranello chapter is actually the same F50 illustrated in its own chapter.
It's rather unfortunate that the publisher apparently didn't employ a proofreader experienced in Ferraris, because these errors would have been easily caught. But if you are willing to overlook these gaffes, this book is colorful and eyecatching.
