1.0 out of 5 stars Comlpete let down !!!, September 9, 2001
By Steven J Stawasz "stawasz" (Dearborn, MI United States) - See all my reviews
I ordered the book for the purpose of obtaining infomation concerning the build-up and operation of supercharged engines. I was very disappointed to find pictures of cars cover to cover. There was two pages of supercharging theory and the rest all pictures.The title of the book is very misleading. There is not one thing comprehensive about this book peroid.I gave the book one star and do not recommend anyone to purchase unless it,s for your first grade son that likes picture books. To some it up I felt like I was ripped off!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Get Robbed, August 19, 2003
By K thompson (cantonment, fl United States) - See all my reviews
This book appears to be an exercise in the photography of cars and some engine shots...no educational or technical sudstance. I wouldn't waste money on this book unless ya just really like lookin at 4 door sedans from Australia.

1.0 out of 5 stars Turbos & Superchargers, A comprehensive guide to forced indu, July 27, 2001
By "aiki1" (Stevens Point, WI United States) - See all my reviews
While filled with lots of pictures of flashy cars, it contains very little useful information. It's basicaly a monthly car magazine wrapped in a hard cover. If I would have had a chance to look at it on the shelf I never would have purchased it.

1.0 out of 5 stars not exactly technical
I have to agree that the title is misleading.
It's neither a guide, nor comprehensive.
Just descriptions of Ausie enthusiasts' cars.
