DESCRIPTION:
John Tipler is a professional motoring journalist who has contributed to a number of leading magazines and has several automotive books in print. John has been Press Officer for John Player Motorsport and also worked in the Press Office at the famous British motor racing circuit, Brands Hatch. John lives with his family in Norwich, England.
From the Giulietta Spider of 1955 to the latest style launched in 1996, John Tipler offers the full and fascinating story of the conception, design, introduction and production of these stylish automobiles.. Alfa Romeo is synonymous with style and performance. These qualities are epitomized in forty years' production of the famous Alfa Romeo series of Spider sports cars
OK book, but it's a UK publication w/ little detailed info I bought this book hoping for a detailed, year by year comparison of each and every year Spider. What it is, in effect, is a vague story of the Spiders. It has its good points but lacks very much the precise detail Alfa owners need. Not enough pictures in color. The title is misleading, should be called "A Vague History of the Spider". Not a good purchase. Better for English/European readers Good information, well written, great pictures, but the book is from the U.K. market. Nearly half of the book is dedicated to the newest Spider, which is not available in the U.S.If you're looking for information leading to purchasing a spider, this may not be the best book. If you just want good reading on Alfas, then it's a good buy.. Gayland Johnson said Wanting More. This book focused more on the history of the famous auto maker. I wish it addressed the notorious mechanical problems that Alfas are associated with.
