Bugatti Type 46 & 50: The Big Bugattis
by Barrie Price
The first edition of this book is now decades old and in revised/updated form still in print—which must mean it is a reference-level work. Spoiler alert: it is; also, it certainly has remained the only one on this subject.
Bugatti: The Italian Decade
by Gautam Sen
An Italian Bugatti? No matter its inglorious end it was a fine, capable car quite unlike anything else. Big names were involved. Big money was spent—on building it and on buying it.
Die Jean Bugatti Story, Eine Dokumentation
by Horst Schultz
Ettore Bugatti’s eldest son was groomed to be the future patron, but he died young. This book makes the point that he influenced both the era before his death and the one/s after it much more than other books allow.
Bugatti taucht auf
by Dea Loher
This very serious German novel is based on two real-life events: [1] a senseless murder in a town near [2] the lake on whose bottom a Bugatti is waiting for someone with enough of a reason to attempt raising it.
The Bugattis of Jean De Dobbeleer
by Charles Fawcett
Historically significant because they have not been published before, these almost 400 photos depict some of the many Bugattis this Belgian dealer sent into the world or repaired in the late 1950s.
Bugatti Type 57 Grand Prix – A Celebration
by Neil Max Tomlinson
This book lives up to its billing as a “radical look…challenging traditional beliefs.” Who’d think that three (or four?) racecars could confound two (or three?) generations of historians?
Bugatti Blue
by Lance Cole
About 100 miles northwest of London you’ll feel like a time traveller. First opened in 1938 you can still see the same cars competing here, six times a year. People who know come from near and far—but outside of England, few seem to.
Bugatti Veyron: A Quest for Perfection
by Martin Roach
The ultra exotic Veyron may cost £1m to buy but it cost way more to build. So what’s in it for Bugatti? And who are the people lining up to buy it? And what’s it like to drive one? All is revealed here.
Bugatti; The Man and The Marque
by Jonathan Wood
Reprinted several times, this book raised the bar when it first came out 25 years ago and it’s still a, if not the, definitive book on the marque.
Bugatti: Le Pur-Sang des Automobiles
by H.G. Conway
A landmark book, not just for the marque but in the genre of automotive histories. In the 50 years since its original publication it has lost none of its luster and is, thankfully, still easily available in any of its several editions.
Grand Prix Bugatti
by H.G. Conway
Bugattis do not have a consistently superior racing record but they evidence a particular steadfastness of vision and purpose. Covering both the race history and the mechanical aspects of the cars this book has been a staple in any serious Bugatti library for fifty years.
Bugatti Type 35C No. 4928, The Story of a Grand Prix Racing Car
by Lennart W. Haajanen
The author owned this particular Bug for 50 years and also raced and restored it. But it was only in researching it in preparation for this book that it was discovered that it had a different serial number than previously thought! A Very Big Deal for such an important car.
