2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it..., June 5, 2002

This review is from: Essential Volvo 120 Series and P1800: The Cars and Their Stories, 1956-73 (Essential Series) (Paperback)
Disappointed. This book appears to be a great resource for P1800 and 122 info, but it's poorly written and poorly layed out. For example, the author will be talking about a 1968 model and the picture above the text shows a 1957 model. It's hard to locate specific info on each model year because the author will switch from discussing a 122s to a 544 model made 20 years before it in the same paragraph. The pictures aren't that good either, most are of modified cars, not stock. It's missing important information such as prices, which years & models were best, buying tips, etc. I guess this book would be an OK addition to other books on the P1800 and 120 series, but it fails miserably as a single source and that's what most people (like me) want. If you could still get the "Illustrated Volvo Buyer's Guide by John Matras" which is unfortunately out of print, nobody would bother with this one. Don't waste your money.
