2.0 out of 5 stars
Poor repro ads and little original info spoil it...,
By
This review is from: VW Beetle 1949-1980: (Schiffer Automotive Series) (Hardcover)
When I received this book, I was hoping for a history of the Beetle Convertible. What I got was a bunch of badly reproduced original adverts and their DIRECT translations into English (with titles like "Drive the VW Karmann Ghia - With Reason" ? ) as opposed to a re-wording in context.Some of the pictures were quite good, but most looked like they'd been scanned straight out of another book. If they had originally been double-page photo's, then there would be a large chunk missing down the middle of the repro pic, where the original's page spine had been. Fine for someone's website maybe, but not for a hardback publication. Aside from the first few pages, there was little original information. The remainder of the book was given up to a few odd paragraphs (and of course, the above mentioned 'translations' of adverts). Overall I felt letdown and if nothing, a bit cheated by this book. |
