This review is from: VW Beetle: The New Custom Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This is a must have for the VW fan. I was at a car show in Effingham, Il. where Keith Seume was signing books I didnt get a chance to meet him but did order two books from Amazon, The VW Beetle "The New Custom Handbook" and the "VW Performance Handbook". Both these books have a wealth of information and he loves VW!!! He has given me some great information for my current projects and some redo ideas for my Cal-look 71. Both of these books have great pictures as well!

Keith Seume Knows the VW Bug,
By dcmorris@earthlink.net (Orange County, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VW Beetle: The New Custom Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
Once again, Keith Seume has written a must-have book for every VW air-cooled enthusiast. Keith is recognized as one of the world's leading VW authorities, which becomes obvious to readers of this book. This book is available at a great price from Amazon, and is bristling full with great and sometimes quite unique ideas for tastefully customizing your air-cooled VW. It's very well written, and full of high-quality pictures. Highly recommended!
