This book is an excellent addition to the library of any motorcycle enthusiast, especially Ducati. But anyway, it has very good photos and very interesting text.

A quality history of Ducati from an American perspective.Review date: 1999-03-25 Rating: 10 out of 10An excellent review of the Ducati history from the American perspective. The book follows the ebb and flow of the Ducati story and it is illustrated with fine color photos. It is not a technical review, just a rich narrative that reads easily. A must for any Ducati enthusiast.Nice pics, bad research. U.S. oriented onlyReview date: 1998-12-23 Rating: 2 out of 10This book is intended for U.S. Ducatisti only and preferrably the newcomers. This book has to many errors in history and regarding models for me to give it anymore than 1 crown. I was very disappointed even though I knew it was US-oriented. The pictures are nice though and it's an easy read. It's probably perfect for those from US and that has jumped the Ducati-ride in the late 90ies, but for all the others out there I cannot recommend this book. Save your money and buy one of Ian Falloon's books instead!Nice light reading...Review date: 1998-12-07 Rating: 6 out of 10Some nice colour pictures with light, easy-going text. I bought this book without realising that it was so U.S. oriented; this means that a lot of Ducati history has been skimmed over. Those looking for information on the Europe-only models will be disappointed.Ducati history well documented, color photography excellent.Review date: 1998-09-20 Rating: 8 out of 10There is an unusual dearth of books on Ducati written in English. Given the almost obsessive loyalty of Ducati fans (comparable almost to those Harley enthusiasts that make the pilgrimage to the original source once a year), books on Ducati are as rare as the bikes themselves. This title, although only available in soft cover, covers the Ducati history fairly well, if not lacking in detail, and from an American perspective, the author has done his research. What sells the book for me is the quality of the color photography. Ducatis have been blessed with incredibly vibrant and sensual colors and styling. To print black and white photographs of them is almost sacrilege! My only complaint is this: Ducati enthusisats can clearly afford some of the most expensive bikes around. Why do the publishers believe the enthusiasts won't want to pay extra for a hardcover book?
