Firstly I must comment on the quality of the photos in this book, they are oustanding, mainly colour, crystal clear and printed on quality paper, complemented by concise line drawings. For this reason alone the book is worth the asking price. In 120+ pages it tries to cover a decade in which cars and car technology leapt forwards, this it does by being brief on most subjects and omitting other areas. In contrast to this the writing style can be heavy going at times, not a book to be perused lightly. As a taster of the fifties era though it can't really be faulted. My only real gripe is that a few of the pictures have the wrong caption.
