Bobbitt's VW Bus Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: VW Bus Type 2 : Camper, Van, Pickup, Wagon (Paperback)
I'm not sure why there was a need for this book?! The ground it covers is not new, and has been done as well--- or better by others! The many b/w photos are faded looking, and the very few color pictures are of often seen brochures...or rather uninteresting VWs. This soft-bound book is printed on good heavy glossy stock, and the content is fairly factual. My advice is to take your $$ and buy the superb VW bus book by Seume/Steinke, or the also fairly good VW bus books by Schiffer/Zeichner or Meredith.
