Summary: The Racing Bible
Review: If you are interested in a broad sweep of Ferrari racing history, this is the book. If you are interested in Ferrari road cars, buy "Ferrari" by Hartmut Lehbrink instead. This is an excellent book, large and heavy with great color pictures and cut-aways. It does gloss over the road cars and has great summary color thumbnails of all Ferrari's (racing and road)in the back. A worthy addition to any Ferrari library.

Summary: The Racing Bible
Review: The book provides great insight into vehicle development at Ferrari. Interesting pictures, great cutaway drawings, and useful basic information are provided.

A few criticisms: input from the Ferrari PR department is obvious (though not bad) and the book is a little light on road car information. However, the road car information that is provided is very good. Also, I could do without the pictures of celebrities and their Ferraris - would rather have more engine/chassis/interior shots.

All in all, no serious Ferrari library will be complete without this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Balanced book
Review: This book accomplish quite properly it mission. To give us a shallow look at the first 50 years of the make. Good and some very rare pictures, diagrams explaining technical solutions and good but condensed text. A must.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Awesome Official Account of Racing History
Review: This is the true story - from Enzo's days as an Alfa Romeo engineer and race mechanic, up to his death...and beyond. It's refreshing to find the story so well summed up - while it's not an unbiased account, it's exactly what you'd expect from the folks who make some of the most amazing machines on the face of this earth. What an awesome story, and great pictures to boot!
