Product Description
Does any other car manufacturer have a more storied history than Ferrari? Has any other carmaker created more memorable and lusted-after cars? For nearly 60 years, Ferrari has built the sports car which fire enthusiast's dreams. Ferrari: A Complete Guide to All Models catalogs Maranello's fantastic output. More than 180 designs
are beautifully illustrated with both artworks and photographs. It's a full review of Prancing Horse
cars from 1940—the year of the 815 Auto Avio Costruzioni—to the 2006 F1 racer of World Champion Michael Schumacher and all the great production cars in between. Organized in chronological order and
sub-divided into grand touring, Sport cars, and Formula One single-seaters, each design has its own technical specification and a text that details the principle engineering and sports successes. The work is complemented by a results listing detailing all the key victories achieved by Maranello in more than 50 years of racing. Truly a key reference work for any Ferrari fan!

A decent starting point April 5, 2008

I think this book is handy to have as a quick reference, and is a good starting point for casual research. But to consider it a "Complete Guide to All Models" is a lot of wishful thinking. I would love to have such a book, but it likely could not be contained in a single volume. When you consider all of the unique variations of the cars produced during the earliest decades of the company, as well as the different incarnations of individual cars that were given new engines, new bodies, etc., during their racing careers, you begin to see that two pages is hardly adequate to begin to cover a single model (especially in a book this size). Still, as a whole, there is a lot of good information here. It will do until something better comes along.

This may be a book without fault. It's complete, easy to use, lovely to browse, and inexpensive. In the 1970s the Fitzgerald and Merit guide to Ferraris was the masterwork. It was updated a couple of times but disappeared in the '80s. Signore Acerbi has come to the rescue. Every Ferrari, including competition models, gets double-spread coverage. The left-hand page has a photo and specifications. The right-hand page has a gorgeous pen-and-ink illustrarion and well-considered, clear commentary. There is even a "Palmares" section at the back which details every major Ferrari racing victory. I've bought one for myself and four for friends. Terrific!
 This is just a magazine Not a real Book January 18, 2007

When I look to the picture of this book in the site, I thought that it was fantastic because of his beautiful first page. But when it arrived and i've realised that it was just a book with small picture and nothing to say about the real history of each Ferrari. i've to tell you that I'm 30 years old and I've never seen such a book.
Oh course I've also to tell you that the Amazon service was perfect.

A good book that covers plenty of the Ferrari models over the years. Has in depth technical details about the cars and their production. I just wish it showed more real pictures of the cars, as most are just artist drawings.
