1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Firstly, the book arrived from amazon really quickly and the box it was packaged in had no bumps, scratches, bends, dents, and etc. This might sound insignificant for some but if your like me and you order a lot of books online I am sure you have experienced the packaging of some of your orders in rough shape, which then means your new book is in even rougher shape. So I appreciate when care is take to make sure my package arrives safely and in nice shape. Secondly the book is AMAZING!!!! If your in automotive design, like myself, or even if you love cars, art, or just cool interesting books, this book is for you. The pictures are great and so crisp and clear. Also the book gives a great deal of information on the history of automotive design. I strongly recommend purchasing this book. Great Buy!!!
