David Venables has developed a considered and thoughtful format which makes his recent work eminently readable and a useful reference work, and his “Bugatti: A Racing History” follows in the mode of his excellent overview of the Alfa Romeo Grand Prix car. The Venables approach is to provide a “detailed overview” and again it works with Bugatti as it did with Napier and Alfa Romeo. What it misses in specific detail, which one guesses the deeply devoted Bugatti enthusiasts will note, it gains in providing a thoroughly informed picture of Bugatti the man, the family, the times, as well as the individual models.
