2.0 out of 5 stars Fairly informative, but unstructured., December 15, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Illustrated Alfa Romeo Buyer's Guide (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)

Although written for the prospective buyer of an Alfa, this book is difficult to follow. It does not adhere to chronology or any other logical structure, and it does little to decipher the convoluted model-variations schema that Alfa Romeo uses to identify its products. One major flaw: in most instances, it does not identify photographs by model year. A disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one 'Alfa' book - this is it, November 30, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Illustrated Alfa Romeo Buyer's Guide (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)

Excellent, detailed descriptions of almost all the Alfa's you can buy (up to the 1980's) - very useful for the true 'Alfisti'. However, it is too obviously written by enthusiasts: excessively flattering praise for the cars, but precious little objective criticism of the faults Alfa owners know so well.

This review is from: Illustrated Alfa Romeo Buyer's Guide (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)

If you really want to understand the differences among the Alfa Romeo production cars, in chronological order, read this book. It's a goldmine of information. You'll definitely learn a lot. My only complaint is with the photographs, which are black & white, uninspiring and amateurish.
