Publication: Croydon, Motor Racing Publications Ltd, 1992
Formatting: 4to, pp. 160
Condition Report: Near Fine. Bound in the publisher's original glazed pictorial boards, this copy remains structurally sound with an exceptionally tight and square binding. Externally, the boards exhibit only marginal rubbing to the spine ends and corners, alongside a hint of shelf-wear to the lower edges. Internally, the text block edge treatments remain clean, and the pages are remarkably bright and entirely free from foxing. The halftone photographic reproductions retain excellent contrast and clarity, undisturbed by any internal markings, with the pages remaining free from previous ownership signatures.
Catalogue Note: First edition. A comprehensive, authoritative marque history detailing the design, development, and competition pedigree of the 1950s through 1970s Giulia models.
The volume is profusely illustrated throughout, supported by robust technical data. Issued without a dust jacket in this pictorial board format, well-preserved copies with tight bindings are increasingly uncommon on the open market.
A definitive reference for the Alfisti, Richard Bremner's meticulously researched volume explores the enduring legacy of Italy's most charismatic mid-century sports cars. Blending rigorous technical specifications with engaging ownership insights, this work captures the spirit and engineering triumphs of the Giulia Spiders and Coupes, making it an essential addition to any serious automotive library.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
