 | How to Rebuild & Modify Your Vespa Motorscooter by Bob Darnell, Bob Golfen
With facilities cranking out scooters in fifteen nations, with rabid scooteristi roaming the globe, and with life-to-date sales numbering well into the millions, Vespa is unarguably the name in motorscooters. The Italian-based company has sold more than two million scooters in the U.S. alone, since Sears & Roebuck took the first stateside shipment in 1950. Those phenomenal numbers, along with a Generation X mod revival, have translated into a thriving collectible and restoration scene, with enthusiasts striving to attain the same authenticity afforded other collectible vehicles. This complete guide to correctly restoring all Vespas built from 1946 through 1996 addresses both mechanical and cosmetic concerns. Generously illustrated with specially commissioned photography, every step in the restoration process is carefully described. Also includes vital information on parts sources.

 | Fatal Embrace by Cris Barrish
This true account concerns the murder of Anne Marie Fahey, the late secretary to the governor of Delaware, and her convicted murderer, Thomas Capano, an affluent state assistant attorney general. According to the authors, Capano--an attractive married man--was romantically involved with Fahey for two years before he shot her in the head and stuffed her body into an Igloo ice chest. Capano is depicted as a manipulative womanizer. Fahey, on the other hand, is portrayed as a gorgeous, but unhappy woman who battled with obsessive-compulsive disorder and anorexia nervosa.
