Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Restorer's Guide 1966-1993. Immortalized as Dustin Hoffman's transport in 'The Graduate,' Alfa Romeo's Spider enjoyed an extraordinarily long production span of 27 years. Launched as the 1600cc Duetto with Pininfarina's simply-styled round-tailed body, it got a 1750cc engine and its tail sawed off in 1969, grew into a 2000cc in 1970 and was saddled with rubber bumpers in the '80s, but lost them in 1990, by which time it was the second oldest car on sale in the U.K. Chris Rees has assembled a comprehensive production history of the car that was offered in literally dozens of different versions with a bewildering multiplicity of minor changes and variants. This task has never been fully attempted before, and the result is sure to be eagerly seized upon by the thousands of Spider enthusiasts hungry for a definitive volume.

This book is not only inaccurate but it contains virtually some of the same text originally published in "Alfa Romeo Spiders" by David Owen in 1982. The similarity of certain passages is just too similar to be coincidence.
Rated by buyers -
One would expect a book with this title to be written by someone who is an Alfa expert. But twice in the opening chapter Mr. Rees states unequivocally that the original Alfa spider was designed by Bertone. This is, of course, ridiculous. All Alfa spiders have been designed by Pinifarina.
The photos are good, and Mr. Rees appears to be thorough. It is just that the error about such a fundamental fact undermines my confidence in the rest of his work.
