This is an outstanding book if you are looking for pictures of vintage volkswagens but don't look for much more than that. Although the pictures are great there is no indication of what you are looking at unless you jump back and forth from the "Description" section in the rear of the book. Lastly you will not get every year of the vintage volkswagens so don't look for anything beyond 1961, and some of the years prior to '61 are missing as well. If you are just looking for some great pictures prior to '61 this book is for you. If you are looking for something more substantial such as changes from model year to model year, and a larger range of years, then keep looking.

If you are 'into' classic VWs- Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and even Hebmullers, you will absolutely love this collection of photographs detailing beautifully-restored or original air-cooled examples. The book features a description in the back of each vehicle, including paint color, interior, owner at the time of photographing, etc. I've been over it time and time again, and it never gets old, just admiring these vintage beauties! I'm a VW fan, and although my 'baby' is a '74 Super Convertible Beetle, I also love the older ones, and it's gratifying to see so many 'pure' examples. Highly recommended!

This book does have some very nice photographs of Beetles in their original form; however, it contains no written information and the photos are not even marked. The only way to tell what you are looking at is to check with a legend at the back of the book.
I'm sure that any true vintage nut would not have to check with this legend to confirm the model they are looking at and I thought the way this book was designed was very poor.
Nice pics with not much else. Average book in my opinion.

There are certainly other VW books out there that are much better than this one!

The book has a very nice collection of VW pictures. Photos whith good quality of very good cars. If you like Beetles you will appreciate this book. I think the format of the book is to small so then many pictures are little or printed using two pages (considering the price is still a good book).

To be honest, I don't even own this book, but my friend does, and we've looked at it many times together. It has plenty of information about Volkswagens, while displaying really fabulous photos of great volkswagen models! If you like Volkswagens, you'll love this book!!

This book is from a Japan VW car club. It has all of like four cars featured. Not really enjoyable to me.

BOOK WAS JUST AS DESCRIBED! WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN! VERY FAST SHIPPING ALSO!
