This review is from: Masters of Car Design (Genius) (Hardcover)
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband, who is a true car aficionado as well as an architect who truly appreciates fine design. Thus, the choice of the book seemed like a great match. It was! He has sincerely enjoyed the book because it provides a nice balance of exceptional photographs with interesting background about the designers and the design process itself.
