excellent value, 2007-12-11
This book is a very heavy 'coffee table' style book that includes a comprehensive collection of cars and historic automotive innovations. The book focuses on European marques and I felt it does provide many interesting insights.
The book is printed in contmporary matt format (i.e. photos may not have the sharpness of a glossy version). I found it to be very interesting and is a must for anyone interested in historic automobiles. A good addition to any automobile library.
