The Duke August 26, 2007
Mr. Lee Taylor (United Kingdom)
I bought this as a gift so I am not really in a position to review it, however my friend was delighted, so I assume it has to be a half decent read as he knows his Ducatis.
Another excellent Ducati book by Falloon. June 10, 2007

Ian does his normal excellent job of providing the history of Ducati, with a mixture of facts and passion. Unlike so many other books, Ian gives a thorough treatment of Ducatis past with only the last chapter devoted to the current bikes which we can read about in magazines.
A lot of behind the scenes information is provided that I didn't know about.
If you are a true Ducatisti, then this is a Must Have book.
One of his best, pairing eye-catching color motorcycle photos with business and design facts. November 7, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Ducati is known for its motorcycles among transportation buffs today, but it switched from electronics to motorcycle manufacturing after a bombing during the second world war - and thus made its name in the industry. What is less well known is the stormy path that led to this reputation, chronicled here in The Ducati Story, now in its 4th edition. Ducati experienced a number of rises and falls due to questionable managerial decision-making processes. This book portrays some of its most famous designers and designs but also charts a company history behind the scenes. Falloon has written over 20 books on motorcycles, including eight on Ducati, but this in-depth survey is one of his best, pairing eye-catching color motorcycle photos with business and design facts.
