Alfa Books List / Annotated Bibliography

I had a look in my 'Bible' called 'Le Vetture di Produzione' written by d'Amico & Tabucchi and published in 1996. I didn't find the appendix, so I presume you are refering to the second version of this book that has been published just recently. I will have to buy a second edition as well!
The Annotated Bibliography will help me categorize my books as well. If you or others are interested, I will post the booklist again after adding the categories.

Ciao, Olaf
Hi Olaf,

Before you run out and buy a new edition of a book that you currently own, I think we should clarify the books. I don't think we're talking about the same book based on your post above. I didn't realize there was another book that is "generically" referred to as the "Bible" as a shorter title form than the full title: Alfa Romeo Owner's Bible by Pat Braden.

The annotated list of eight pages is far less comprehensive, as far as number of titles covered, than your list is in previous posts. The reason it spans eight pages is because of the annotations or short summaries of the selected titles discussed, purpose, intent, etc.

Here are the full details of the book that I cited and pulled the annotated list categories from:
Braden, Pat. (1994). Alfa Romeo Owner's Bible, A Hands-on Guide to Getting the Most from Your Alfa.Massachusetts: Bentley Publishers, (pp. 259-265).
The one I'm citing from is one of the later editions of the book, but AFAIK, the previous editions are identical except some minor text corrections and the edition of the picture of Pat and our son at the end of the author's preface.

If you decide to reorganize your list into specific categories, I would be interested; I can't speak for others. Sorry, for the confusion with my assumption of the "Bible" designation.
