Chris,
I have both of those books and recommend them. I think you would enjoy the reading. "Detomaso: The Man and the Machines" is the newer of the two books of course, and has updated information on the newer cars whereas as the other book is more "vintage". In my opinion, these are two books that every Detomaso enthusiast should have in their library.
