This book seems to be the result of tedious and well conducted research in to the beetle's history. It provides an extremely useful chronological guide in to the car's evolution and gives important detail changes performed by Vollkswagen to the Beetle over the years. The high quality photographs employed are of the best quality that I have seen in any any automotive book or magazine.It is simply a book that must be read by all Beetle enthusiasts.

This was a great find for this book. eBay sells this book for over $40. I was very happy to find it here for half that price.

This review is from: Original VW Beetle (Hardcover)

I HAD I VERY NICE SURPRISE WHEN I RECIBED THE ORIGINAL VW BEETLE BOOK. IT IS VERY GOOD ILUSTRATED, WHITH GOOD QUALITY, FULL COLOR PHOTOS. THE CARS IN THE PHOTOS ARE REALY NICE, IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITIONS. THE BOOK PRESENTS VERY USEFULL INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF THE VW, INDICATING FOR EACH YEAR, SINCE 1945, THE MAIN CHANGES. IN RESUME THE BOOK LOOKS LIKE A BARGAIN BOOK, BUT HAS INFORATION LIKE A CONSULTING BOOK. I WILL RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO MY FRIENDS, THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE VW. ALSO I THINK THE BOOK USEFULL FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THOSE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE MADE HISTORY.
