5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Source for Researching American Automobile History!, December 7, 1998

By	Steven R. Rippon (Danville, CA) - See all my reviews

The Author's of this book have done a fantastic job of researching and documenting the early history of the American automobile. I have found this book to be an invaluable reference in researching the history of the automobile stock and bond certificates which I collect.

Even the most obscure and low-key manufacturer is covered. This book is well worth it's price and my only criticism would be...if all other readers used it as much as I do...please publish the next edition in hardcover!!
