Such is the case with Oosthoek\u2019s debut masterwork on the rear-engine Birdcage Maseratis. However, the publisher made a wise decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oosthoek, an ack\u00adnowledged whiz in the world of Maserati in general, and the Birdcage cars sp\u00adecifically, has put all his research skills into the ultimate book on an extremely small but equally fascinating set of racing machines. While the story of the front-engine cars is reasonably well known, the later cars were burdened with many myths, distortions and downright lies. Oosthoek has meticulously examined every piece of period and post-racing history, and the result is what so far seems to be a flawless history, capturing hundreds of human and mechanical stories that breathe life into the book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have a personal interest in this book\u2014I have driven both chassis 0002 Tipo 63 cars and Oosthoek helped understand the complexities there. I have read the book twice now, and it is a very solid example of good research and lively story-telling. I found one minor caption error\u2014mistakenly referring to Pedro Rodriguez as Ricardo Rodriguez\u2014but perhaps I would find that, being a Rodriguez fanatic! The photography is superb and comprehensive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Published by: Dalton Watson Fine Books. Regular Edition <strong>\u00a380 $140<\/strong>.
