4.0 out of 5 stars
The most beautiful VW bus photos ever!,
By jramsey@powersavers.com (Tustin, California.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Original VW Bus (Original Series) (Hardcover)
One word: PHOTOS! Every page in the book is loaded with beautiful color plates that will amaze you. The photos are perfect. Most photos were taken against the beautiful English country where most buses are still in use. The documentation on model changes is quite extensive as well. I particularly like the author's attention to the world wide feelings the buses conjured during the 60's and 70's. The author also pays attention to all suspension, interior and body style changes the bus has had through the years. It's a great book and a must have for any bus enthusiast.
