The Ducati 860,900 & Mille Bible

What can you say about any book written by Ian Faloon, other than it is does exactly what it says it will do, give you lots of information in a very readable style and you never end up disappointed.

In 2006 Fallon (and Veloce publishing) gave us the ‘Ducati 750 Bible’, now two years on he has turned his attention to the larger machines.

You could of course argue that this is book purely for the owner of these now iconic motorcycles. However, like many of his books, despite it giving all the facts and figures an owner requires, it still ends up as a good, general read as well. You learn about the development, the people behind it and the racing heritage.
Twenty plus books to his credit, the Antipodean motorcycle historian knows how to put across the story helped by using superb colour and period black and white plates to illustrate the text.

Even if you have owned one of these bikes, or just read every word about a particular bike you have lusted after, such as the Hailwood Replica, you will still learn a lot from the 160 pages.

A with all Veloce publications it is a top quality hardback that is well worth the £29.99 cover price. Available direct from Veloce (www.veloce.co.uk)  plus p & p or from all good bookshops.
