Summary: The best Vespa book out there....
Comment: This book was obviously written to teach the novice Vespa enthusiast the nitty-gritty details of scooter repair and restoration, through the eyes of someone who mastered the art! Bob Darnell's take on both simple and complicated tasks gives any reader invaluable insight into how to do it right! I would recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Nice and in depth
Comment: Although unless you actually own a Vespa, or really like to learn all you can about them, you may find it a little boring.

Comment: How to Restore and Maintain Your Vespa Motorscooter (Motorbooks Workshop) (Motorbooks Workshop)

written mainly for american market but very informative and detailed,it should be noted that some models such as the T5 were not imported into the USA and are therefore not covered otherwise lots of tips and guides on restoration

Summary: Very helpful
Comment: I have the Hanes manual which is good, but it slightly intimidating if you know nothing about engines or are not mechanically inclined. This book is more friendly and actually gives me hope that I can learn and work on my own Vespa. If you or not a grease monkey by trade, this is a good book for a weekend grease monkey. And I'm not throwing poo, this book is for real.

Summary: THE ONE|
Comment: Great little book with lots of great info: from the history of Vespa scooters to tips about choosing the right model to (of course) information about restoring and maintaining the scooter, the book has it all!

Pictures are all in b&w and the look is a little old-fashioned, but I don't think that is necessarily a big problem.

If you really have to own ONE book about Vespa scooters, this should be it!
