5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview and insights, November 19, 1999

By	B. DARE "bdare" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book covers most models of Ferraris available for sale and gives an evaluation of the model for potential buyers. It is short on technical aspects and specifications of each car, but it is a guide not an encyclopedia. It is a great book for someone serious about purchasing a Ferrari. It gives advice and insights into the value and desirability of each model under review

5.0 out of 5 stars The classic quick reference book on Ferrari models, January 25, 1998

By	R. Snodgrass (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A classic book by the well-regarded late Ferrari author Dean Batchelor. Although titled as a "buyer's guide" this is a great reference book on higher production models. Each model is covered with a general overview, several photos showing the different varieties, detailed specifications, chassis number ranges, and an investment rating based on Dean's five star system.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best intro to Ferrari you can get for under $40, March 25, 1999

By	John Rosevear (Massachusetts USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a superb overview of the models you're likely to find for sale or at a local car show. It isn't really a buyers' guide, as you'd be a fool not to do lots more research before buying any Ferrari, particularly one more than a few years old. But, if you're dreaming of buying an older car, or you have a 308 and wonder what all those funny looking old cars are at the FCA meeting, or you are just wondering what all the "real Ferraris have V12s" stuff is about, pick up a copy and read. Highly recommended.
