Alfa Books List / Annotated Bibliography

And one more Alfa list of Pat's, this one is an annotated bibliographic list that can be found in Appendix 2 of the Alfa Romeo Owner's Bible entitled "Resources," which I discovered looking for something else; specifically, the Angie Dickinson Alfa bodied vignale photo for another thread.

I am not going to post the list here because of its length, some 8 pages, copyright restrictions, and because the "Bible" is still in print and currently available for sale through numerous vendors. However, I will summarize the categories that Pat has used as far as classification of the books and add that each book has a full description as to its purpose and inclusion in the list.

The categories:
  • Annotated Bibliography with Pat's introductory remarks about some established and recognized sources discussed
  • Core Books
  • General Histories
  • Era-or Model-Limited Works
  • Books Published by Alfa Romeo
  • Books About Alfa Body Builders
  • Books About Zagato
  • Books Containing Significant Alfa References
  • General-Interest Books
  • Shop and Parts Manuals

It should be noted that the lists were complete and accurate as far as availability and Pat's selection of the books at the time of publication.

Note to self: I should really stop looking for things, filling requests, and finding other things instead.
