This book ROCKS. I have always been vaguely familiar with the Low Rider scene (I love when the Oldies station cranks up the old tune) but being about as ethnic as a loaf of Wonder bread, and living in the snow-belt Northeast, my knowledge was limited to a few rather brief glimpses in music videos and the like. What stood out most of all was the fact that you never really see these cars in Upstate NY.

This book has given me an understanding of the history, the mechanics, and most of all the culture of Low-riding, something I otherwise would never have been exposed to. If you're already a Low Rider enthusiast, you'll love this work, it will serve almost as an encylopedia. If you're like me, curious, but of little to no background, this book will more than prove what all the hubbub is about. I highly recommend this work to anyone with an interest in automotive history.
