Summary: A superior documentary of the quatro-valve bikes
Review: An exceptional book from a pictorial perspective. Good coverage on the development of the 4 valve engine and bikes, including racers. A good addition to any enthusiast's library.

Summary: Ducati Superbikes 851/888/748/916 Paolo Conti
Review: Extensive development history of the racing desmoquattros with lots of beautiful and rare pictures. Written in stilted euro-speak; awkward phrasing and somewhat tortured writing style. Whoever designed this book should be shot. Very few captions for the wonderful photos, so you're left scratching your head and wondering what bikes are linked to what riders, what year and model they are, etc. Photos are not indexed to text in any coherant manner. Worst typography I have ever seen in any book; it is literally unreadable. If I hadn't received the book with my 851, I'd never buy it.

Summary: My first Ducati book
Review: OK, the book exists already for a couple of years, but if you really want some true beautiful colour pictures of the Ducati Superbikes from the Castiglioni era, this one can't be missed. Note : especially if your a scale modeller.
