Yeah... when I can get them... The gem in my collection is a very
nice (but not perfect) copy of NUVOLARI By Gianni Lurani... I just
got it after about 10 years of warm and cold looking... A local
previously owned book merchant friend of mine secured it from an
unamed source (I think in NY). It's a neat book with not too much
"hero worship" by Lurani. Tazio Nuvolari has been a hero of mine
since I first read about him many years ago... He should figure
prominently amongst you Alfisti...
