Customer Reviews

Fascinating look into the lurid history of the automobile

This book is a great conversation starter. Just place it on your coffee table and you'll see. Martin Buckley's prose is at times hilarious and at others droll and scathing. You will not be disappointed by this fantastic book. You MAY however be disappointed by the quality of the book. My wife purchased the book for my birthday (the perfect gift!) and we were slightly confused when we opened it for the first time. My copy arrived with chapter five bound upside down and backwards! Oh well, chalk it up to British quirkiness.
