This is an excellent book for any Miata MX-5 enthusiast, well written with plenty of pictures. Of particular interest is the extensive and detailed history of the MX-5 with wonderful photos of prototypes and early designs. As this book was written in the UK, it has a decided UK (actually a worldwide) flavor. Although not a negative, if you're from the U.S., it causes a...

Too much European Information
There is a lot of stuff contained in the book that someone in the US would not have to worry about. I was hoping it would expand on specific problems or issues of certain years or models but that was very limited. It is a good overview book as it touches upon many aspects just as the title suggests. However it does not dive too deaply into any specific one.

This review is from: You & Your Mazda MX-5/Miata Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book for any Miata MX-5 enthusiast, well written with plenty of pictures. Of particular interest is the extensive and detailed history of the MX-5 with wonderful photos of prototypes and early designs. As this book was written in the UK, it has a decided UK (actually a worldwide) flavor. Although not a negative, if you're from the U.S., it causes a few double-takes when you first see pictures of right-hand drivers. You'll also quickly get used to the language differences: boot for trunk, tonneau cover for boot, hood for convertible top, and bonnet for hood. Written in 2002, the last year model covered is the 2001. But since very little has changed since then, the book is not seriously lacking in covering the modern versions. Buy this book if you're interested in Miata MX-5 history details: model changes, design, production, worldwide differences. Don't buy if you're interested in performance improvements, racing, repairs, or modifications.

Nice book. Easy to read when you're not English. Nice pictures. You have to buy the book when you own a MX-5/Miata or you want to buy one.
