4.0 out of 5 stars A great value & book but.... I was tricked, December 12, 2008

The material, and the value in purchasing this book are fantastic......if......you don't already own the two separate books that are reproduced in this volume. I felt tricked into buying this because I did not realize it was simply a re-issuing of the two prior books into one new volume. I was excited to receive what I expected to be all new material. Now, if you don't already own the two prior releases, this is a fantastic book, and value. Photos are fantastic. I decided to keep the book though. I feel free to loan it to others with similar interestes, and if I don't get it back, it isn't the end of the world because I have the two separate, original volumes. I would have been hesitant to loan my only copy of those books out.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for comparing , the cars we used in our funeral home, March 21, 2011
