More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Alfa Romeo is one of the great marques of motoring history with a reputation for sporting cars and a racing pedigree to back it up. The classic Giulietta range of the 1950s led to some of the most iconic and stylish post-war car designs ever seen. ICONS OF STYLE is a brand new series of compact illustrated books which celebrate the most iconic car designs of the 20th century. Each book focuses on a different classic car, or car marque and documents its concept and development, launch and production, its variants and derivatives. The photographs are a mix of archive and factory shots, images from advertising and brochures, and location portraits, all of which exemplify the iconic style of the era.

Format:Hardcover
This book was published in 2010, so it's a fresh view of what's going on at Alfa Romeo. Thankfully, the author doesn't focus on the brand's long and illustrious racing career, like most books about Alfa Romeo do. Instead, he focuses on the cars produced and sold to the public during the past century, right up to the new MiTo and Giulietta. The book is compact, has excellent quality paper, a tough binding, and superb, high quality, mostly color photographs. It's broken down into six chapters:
1. The Origins, Darracq and the Anonima Lombarda
2. Nicola Romeo and the Period Between the Two Wars
3. The Post-war Period and a State Owned Alfa Romeo
4. The Alfasud and the Crises Years
5. Alfa Romeo in the Fiat Group
6. Alfa Romeo Today
The author is passionate about the brand and knows his subject well. His writing style is fresh and engaging. Most importantly, it's not a rehash of what's been written before. If you're an Alfisti, you won't be disappointed.

Book arrived very quickly, as is usual thru' Amazon, & was what was ordered. Cannot believe the incredible value for a hardback book. Lots of interesting facts in a review of Alfa Romeo's history. You could be well on your way to becoming an anorak!

If you like Alfas then this book is for you. Although about half of the book goes back to the pre-war years, there are some lovely pictures of up to the present day, including the modern day Giulietta. Recommended for Alfisti everywhere !
