Archival photo book

I thrive on this book for its photos depicting the scooter's history from its early beginnings through its publicity programs to the present times, and I never stop browsing it to relieve the people's bliss up close - that's a good format as far as I can tell! Thank you so much!

Good

The item was as stated and arrived in good time in excellent condition. Thanks, a very enjoyable read! Rob

The Vespa Pocketbook

Although the book is deceptively small, its contents are very comprehensive. Contained between its high quality hard covers is a comprehensive view of the Vespa history, current and former production models and associated marketing programs. It's a very handy travel volume for those of us who love to strike up conversations about the world's most popular scooter brand.

really neat book

I got the book as a birthday present for a friend who owns a 1968 vespa. Compared to all the other Vespa books, this had the best combination of vespa-nerd technical information and great historical content -- not just about the development of the scooter, but about how it affected people around the world. I also love the "pillowy" cover, which makes the book not just visually entertaining (so many great photos), but, also just holding it is a great tactile experience.
