Scooterama
: Cafe Chic and Urban Cool
by Alastair Walker, Steve Berry
After
enjoying iconic status among Hollywood celebrities from John Wayne to Jayne
Mansfield in the 1950s, and the trendy "mods" of the 1960s, scooters suffered
through a period of relative obsurity in the 1970s and 1980s. Today, however,
forward-thinking manufacturers such as Piaggio, Velocifero, Peugeot, Italjet,
and Honda are launching scooters that are gaining favor among glitterati,
daily commuters, and the hip cognoscenti worldwide. This all-color history
of the motorscooter examines its sophisticated popularity beginning in
the 1950s and ending with its current resurgence. Beautifully produced,
the book is rife with classic photography of scooters old and new, with
a special emphasis on notable design elements.

Vespa
: An Illustrated History
by Eric Brockway
When it was first introduced in 1949, the Vespa scooter was an entirely
new type of vehicle, the result of a flash of inspiration followed by innovative
engineering and astute marketing. It captured the imagination of a generation
and found a place in the hearts of all who rode it. The author tells the
story of this remarkable two-wheeler, from its Italian origins through
40 years of development, with anecdotes about the machines and the colourful
characters involved with them.

The Cult of Vespa
by
Umberto Eco, Omar Calabrese, Lina Wertmuller, Francois Burkhardt
Here is the entertaining history of the Vespa on its 50th anniversary.
Not many products achieve a fifty year life span, and the 50 years of Vespa
are even more striking if one considers the period in which it came to
existence. Many post-war inventions were forgotten when income rose and
living standards improved, but Vespa developed from a utility vehicle into
an international success, a 'cult-object', which has given rise to the
creation of associations and collector's guilds world-wide. Text by Umberto
Eco, Omar Calabrese, Lina Wertmuller, Francois Burkhardt, Maurizio Bertini,
and many other celebrities.
