Product DescriptionThe problem with most generalized Buyer's Guides is their lack of detail. In an attempt to cover every model that was ever constructed, much of the necessary data has to be omitted. While these books make interesting reading, the potential buyer that has already determined which model he or she wants to purchase, will be sorely disappointed with the woefully inadequate information they contain. Not so with this book! More than just a Buyer's Guide, it's a complete guide to the purchase and ownership of a 308 series Ferrari and includes a wealth of data for the owner once the car has been purchased. Consisting of three major sections, the first section helps the reader understand the history of Ferrari and the introduction and development of the 308 series cars. The second section will help you decide how, what, when and where to purchase and the third section will assist you in keeping your new acquisition in top condition with hints and tips on maintenance, repair and even modification. If you already own a 308, then this book will help you get the most enjoyment from your ownership and will prepare you for what potential buyers will be looking for when it comes time to sell. A well-written book by a respected authority on late model Ferraris and no 308 enthusiast should be without a copy.

Rating: - Great Intro to the 308
I found this book extremely helpful when I started my search for a 308. Like the title says, it's a buyer's guide and helped me a lot in that area. It's also helped me get to know my new car better too.
I did see the error in the table one of the other reviewers saw, but its correct in the text.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering a 308, or anyone wanting more information about their Ferrari. It's an excellent introduction to "the red fever". ... Read More
Rating: - Sorry, but I'm unimpressed
As a long time 308 owner, I always keep my eyes open for new 308 material. So I automatically bought this one pretty much without a second thought.
There's very little here which is not already readily available in better books. No pictures, save for an occasional B&W picture of what I am assuming must be the author's own QV. There's a section on the general history of Ferrari which is of little relevence for a 308 Buyer's Guide - if this is your interest, there's much better places ... Read More
Rating: - Acclaim for Cook's 308 guide
Just received Cook's Ferrari 308 guide and enjoyed every moment of it! In fact, I was late to work this morning because I stayed up late finishing it last night. I've owned, restored and enjoyed a 1979 308GTB for ten years but still learned things from Steve's book. I found the work to be well written with topics divided into a logical progression from a history of the marque to tips and hints for the new (or seasoned) owner. I must admit that I did not read the book sequentially from start to end but ... Read More
