5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy of the Prancing Horse., June 1, 2000

By	Occasional Reviewer "raptorduck" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Ferrari (Hardcover)

Anybody who puts together a book about Ferrari cars has his or her hands full. The book must, to some level present the car in a manner somewhat reminiscent of the real thing. As this maker has made only masterpieces, that is a tall order indeed. The way you do that, however, is to ensure your book is filled with large, glossy, high quality, color pictures of these cars from all angles, close up and far. You also should make sure you cover all the models to enough detail to satisfy the hunger of the typical Ferrari nut. This book does just that, and it does it well. It is large and inviting and the pictures and commentary are first rate. Both popular and lesser known models are given generous coverage for a book covering an entire line. It covers the cars chronologically and you will not be dissapointed by the coverage and photos of your favorite, no matter which model that might be. A great oversized book like this is a perfect window to the finest cars ever made. I have scanned and read this book several times since I bought it. This book is a must have.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Complete(?) Ferrari, November 13, 2000

By	Gikas Melachrinos (Pireus, Greece) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Ferrari (Hardcover)

It is a very interesting book with a big variety of photos and comments. Its big page format makes it a pleasure to read. It would be a 5 star if only it had the latest Ferraris. It must be considered as an excellent source of information for classic Ferraris. It is very good but it is not the "Complete Ferrari"
