General Automotive Reviews

This is a great book if your a beginer with cars. It really talks alot about the way the engine works and how to service and fix your car. I am a car mechanic and this book even tought me some. It is really interesting.

I found this book to be positively recharging and the heating section is hot, very hot. Don't forget it is better to recycle than to vent.

i would like to know the book content pls.
thank u

Example of Scarry illustration before he honed his style into that which he would become popular. Great drawings of fifties era cars, particulary commercial vehicles: Ice Cream truck, Flower Delivery, etc.

The page depicting a family on vacation is hilariously un-PC: The father is relaxing and smoking his pipe while the wife scrubs a pot at the sink in the camper. Outside, the toddler looks longingly from the confines of his crib as the boy shoots off his toy gun.

I have followed the work of George and(the late) Sam Barris since 1953. Their work set a trend for all custom car builders and owners. George has done a great tribute to many car builders by showing these terrific photos of many cars that we all thought were lost. As one reads thru the book, you begin to realize that these rolling sculptures are true works of art, and several of these vehicles have been featured in museums and art shows. One can thank George for having the ability to photograph these (K)custom cars during the 1950s.

I'll start off this way, I bought this set of books for a Junior College Automotive Class, and read it before the class sesion even started - and I don't like to read. This is not a dry manual filled with borring specifications. This is an easy to read common sense book.

It covers the lingo we as car owners need to speak to get the right parts and service for our vehicles. (The glossary is in English and in Spanish).

It breaks up the automobile into it's separate systems, and describes them in detail. It prepares you for some fundamental troubleshooting.

Buy it!

If the old saw, "A picture tells a thousand stories," is true,then this book tells a million stories about the lovable Volkswagen Beetle. Basically a collection of photos chronicling the history of the Beetle, from the early days to the new Beetle built on a GTI chassis, this book has something for everyone who's shifted into reverse in a Bug.

Especially interesting are the old historical photos, such as the ones showing Ferdinand Porsche with Hitler's staff, and the rudimentary dash on old Beetles.

The pictures are fabulous as well. This book is a must for every Beetle lover, and is a perfect coffee-table book.

The author gives a get description of the kinds of trucks on the road today. It has great pictures with a lot of action. The author also takes you on a few trips were you get to meet the people who drive the trucks of America. This book is for young and old. If you drive a truck or you just like to look at them this is a book for you. Once I started I could not put it down. It is great!

The book is very factual and very well written. It covers the history of the Salt Flats from the beginning in the early 20's. It brought back some great memories for some of us veteran drivers. I've been going there since 1949. The club I'm in, Land Speed Racers, has 2 of the original participants still racing. Dwayne McKinney and myself, David Ratliff. The pictures show a wide variety of cars, drivers and equipment. I'm glad to have been a small part of this history and happy to still be going to the Flats. See you on the Salt! Dave Ratliff
