Review
THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSUMER REVIEWS:
Oh! What a book ! The best book I have ever seen on one single model,
and one of the best Alfa books ever (and probably one of the best
motoring books I ever saw, and the best I ever purchased !).
It has everything: nice printing, splendid pictures, complete
technical details and advice... PLUS nice girls and English "humour."
I will try to get the book reviewed in French specialised papers...
but you know that French usually don't speak English, too bad ! But
they should learn English at least to read THIS book !
I hope that this book sells very well, Bruce: it will be good for
you, and for the Montreal community, as it will help put the Montreal
on top of classic cars lists !

I've just now received the book from Veloce and I have had a quick
look on it. My very very very great congratulations!!!!!!!!!!, the book looks
fantastic!!!!!!! It's a wonderful job there!!! And you must be very
proud about it. I'm sure that there is not in the world another one car having a such
fantastic monographic and exclusive book!!!

I've been pouring through my copy of the new 'Monti Bible'
and ....well what can I say... FANTASTIC JOB BRUCE. The first thoughts that went through my mind while going through it where what lucky bastards ALL future Monti owners are to have such an authoritative information/experience packed book to refer to.
Of the hundreds of hours of experience (all too often painful) that
people like myself have endured to DISCOVER what is now so perfectly
and clearly put in print.They have been saved so much pain and
suffering (and money) by having this book now available to them.
How I wish I had one 15 years ago when I first entered the then
mysterious world of Montreal ownership. What lucky lucky bastards
they all are now.... !!!!
Well done Bruce. Well done... !

Finally I have received your wonderful book from Amazon.fr !
It is quite a pleasure reading it for hours and hours and helps us
loving even more our Monties. Thank you, Bruce!

I received my copy of your book from Amazon US and have now read it.
This is a fantastic piece of work. All of the collected tips and
suggestions for repair and maintenance are available in one place.
This will make Montreal ownership a lot easier. Congratulations.

I would like to let you know that I have received your book yesterday
and all I can say is wow!
It's truly a blessing and pleasure to own this book, it will be very
helpful to me, I'm not asmechanically inclined as some of the other
Montreal owners are. This book will help a lot. Thank you.

Product Description
Almost 4000 Alfa Romeo Montreals were produced between 1970 and 1977, and sound cars are readily available today at very affordable prices. It is a powerful car that can be immensely enjoyable to drive and that turns heads wherever it appears. But up to now, the lack of detailed information about the Montreal has frustrated many owners and discouraged others from purchasing the car. This book provides detailed technical information and practical tips to help owners with maintenance, tuning and upgrading the performance of this unique vehicle. It explains how the car's specific weaknesses can be rectified so that it can realise its full potential. It also contains information about Montreal history, production, racing, meetings, reviews, drawings, art, special tools, paint finishes, models, prices and service providers. This comprehensive book can help present owners enjoy the Alfa Romeo Montreal to the fullest, and it shows other discerning car enthusiasts that this beautiful and potent classic GT is a hidden treasure that is well worth seeking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Montreal owners bible, 10 Sep 2008
There must be few motoring books on the market as well written written and graphically excellent as Bruce Taylor's Alfa Romeo Montreal - Essential Companion. The fact that it covers one of the most mythical and misunderstood Italian cars of the seventies makes this an even more remarkable achievement. If you have even the most passing interest in these cars, you should own a copy. If you are considering buying one, it is a must!

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and enthusiastic account of the Alfa Montreal, 21 Aug 2008
By Julian Maddison (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Alfa Romeo Montreal - the Essential Companion" is amazingly thorough and complete. In fact, I do not think I have seen a more in-depth book on one model before. This is the first and only English language book devoted to the beautiful and intriguing Alfa Montreal. The authors of many such books are motoring journalists commissioned by the publishers to write about a particular marque or model and the result is often quite passionless. In this case the author is clearly an expert with a real love for the Montreal and it shows. I have never owned or even driven a Montreal but this book makes me want to have one.
Although there could be more information on the design of the car (there are no styling renderings from Bertone or proper commentary on Marcello Gandini's other designs), the other sections on buying, restoring and maintaining a Montreal are very detailed indeed. There are also lists of chassis numbers, colour codes, models, magazine articles that have appeared worldwide and useful addresses. The text is accompanied by colour photos throughout.
Veloce Publishing offers an interesting range of motoring titles, but I have always been disappointed by the quality of the design, printing, and reproduction of the images in their books. This was particularly true of their title on the Citroen SM. "Alfa Romeo Montreal - the Essential Companion" is much better in all these respects, but it is not perfect and at this price it should be better still - this is what prevents me from giving it a 5 star rating.
