Just a quick note to answer the two unsatisfied customers above. Shame that one of them cannot bring himself to leave his name (which suggests his views are not worth considering...). Sorry you thought it "cheesey" and that I should stick to what I do best, rather than write about VWs. Sorry, but that's my job, as founding editor of VolksWorld magazine etc.... On the matter of the two South American references from our other friend, by way of defence, the pic of Mexico City was actually marked up by Volkswagen's archive department as Brazil. Never having been there, I had to take VW's word! In the other picture caption, I do not actually say that the car is from Brazil - just South America. Sorry to be picky but we authors have a hard enough time as it is! I hope everyone enjoys the book as much as I did doing the pic research. Just wait for the next two from me due out in 2002.

Covers everything from the Beetles' origins in pre-war Germany, thru to the new Beetle. Detailed photographs and literature charting the progress of this little car. The original VW sales brochures' artwork are now classics in their own right.

Good sections on history, racing, customizing and "odd" Beetles (the stretch-limo-bug has to be seen, to be believed!). Also looks briefly at Karmann Ghias and other 'sister' cars.

Written in a non-anorak style that makes for easy reading.

Excellent, thoroughly recommended to anyone!

My favorite thing about this book is that it's for ALL beetle owners/drivers/fans. It covers the original beetles and the New Beetle. History buffs will also appreciate the history of the Volkswagen company, as well as how the Beetle was started and where it is today. Definitely worth the price :-)
