Books on GTs

Alfa Romeo Giulia History and restoration by Pat Braden.
Also, Alfa Romeo Coupes 1963-1976 - Brooklands Books - a collection af magazine articles and road tests.

Pat's Giulia book is out of print and has been for some time. It is still available sporadically on the secondary market if you're willing to pay the price. I'm pretty sure, but not positive that the All Alloy Book which is available was supposed to update or add additional information to the Giulia book along with other all alloy Alfa topics. At least, that was the original plan.

Thanks.

Keith is an authority in his own right on various sportscars, including Alfa. He started out publishing the Alfa Romeo Market Letter as an enthusiast which blossomed into the current SCM or Sports Car Market Magazine. He is also the announcer at CI a lot of the time, describing the cars and giving brief histories. Pat wrote the majority of the Alfa material for Keith's magazine until his death. So you may want to take my opinion as biased and wait for some others to chime in on the value of his book.
