* * * * * Luigi Fusi – Alfaromeo Tutte Le Vetture Dal 1910 - All Cars From 1910
« on: May 19, 2011, 08:23:50 AM »
Today I'm glad to write about a true gem:

Luigi Fusi, "Alfaromeo Tutte Le Vetture Dal 1910 - All Cars From 1910" , publisher: Emmeti Grafica, 1978, 874 pp. (hardcover with dustjacket, 17cm x 24cm) Written in Italian and English. ISBN: ??, prize: ~ € 200,- — € 450,- (or more!) This book isn't available in book shops anymore and is a highly requested rarity today.
It's among Alfistis "The Bible" of Alfa Romeo cars. It's said to be one the most comprehensive Alfa Romeo books ever made. Packed with a huge amount of detail photos, drawings and countless (B/W) pictures. Every single car is richly described in detail with lots of technical data, specifications, etc.

However it's mainly about production and racing cars, so you rather don't find many obscure Carrozzeria cars therein.

The paper is rel. thin, but of good quality (just like a bible!   ;))


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm currently going to sell this book which is in mint condition.
If you're interested and want to make an offer, please send me a PM.
(it's not cheap, so only serious bidders please!  ;))

I can vouch for that - excellent reference work.
My copy is signed by Luigi Fusi and was quite hard to find a decade ago.

As far as I know, most of these books are 'signed' by Fusi.

Yes, I've had a few discussions about that and I don't think now it was signed personally by Fusi.
Whatever, it is a recommended addition to an enthusiast's library.

My old, well-thumbed copy must be very rare, as it has not been signed by Fusi!  ;D

Well, the lucky new owner is me. Had watched it through very briefly, looks very complete at first glance.

Can someone who has a 1st or 2nd edition of this book please check for me if the 750 competizione (On page 531-532 of the 1978 3rd edition) is included. 
And if so, can these pages be posted? (Sounds like a strange request, but I suspect that the provided information has been changed in the 3rd edition and I'm in search of the original info).
