The other review, while glowing, gives a very low score: 1. I cannot understand such a low score with such a glowing review, so I submit this vote to balance the score a bit.

If you're into car modeling and are familiar with Gerald Wingrove, you know that any books by or about him are very worthwhile. He has worked in 1/15th scale on classic cars and his skills and workmanship approach perfection. They are in a class by themselves. This book is excellent and loaded with color photos of his models, many of which are near the model's actual size. Studying the models' phenomenal details is fascinating. It's not a how-to book, but describes the processes and stages of scratch-building these classics. The book's a great read and a treat that can be enjoyed more than once!
