Jam-packed with Information
This book is amazing, packed full of information and detailed photographs. I was reluctant to buy this as I thought it was quite pricy, but my 12 year old son is obsessed with cars and wanted a good fact book for his Christmas; I couldn't find anything else suitable so I bought it, and I am so glad I did. The volume is huge, definitely value for money, and packed full of interesting facts and tonnes of detail. He is going to love this present.

It looks a great book, but I know nothing about cars
It looks a great book, but I know nothing about cars. I bought it for a present for my son-in-law when he will be coming over here in September.

I MIGHT LIVE IN THE COLONIES BUT WHEN I SAW THIS BOOK ON AMAZON I LIKED THR PRESENTATION AND THOUGHT THAT IT COULD BE A GOOD THING.CARS HAVE BEEN MY HOBBY FOR MANY DACADES AND MY WIFE THINKS I HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS ON THEM BUT I THINK EVEN SHE WAS IMPRESSED WITH WHAT I BOUGHT.THE WHOLE THING IS QUALITY-FROM THE EMBOSSED COVERS TO THE BEAUTIFUL COLOUR LAYOUTS.THIS MAKES A GOOD REFERENCE BOOK WITHOUT LABOURING IN TOO MANY DETAILS.GOOD TO LOOK AT AMD NICE TO OWN.

Seriously, my little man is not quite two and loves everything about cars. I bought this and he and I enjoy looking at all of the great pictures and discussing what's cool and what's just interesting in the history of the automobile. The coverage is excellent and the pictures really nice. Like I said my little guy is not quite two and he has been a bit rough on the pages, so I bought another copy to put aside for when his old man is not around to read it with him. I really think it is that nice and worth putting one aside for the future, perhaps after the automobile is banned.
