2.0 out of 5 stars The Lowrider Handbook, September 21, 2009

Decent book but I was expecting more in depth and more than a small collection of tech articles from Lowrider Magazine. It wasn't very well organized either. I would recommend purchasing one used rather than spend the money on a new one if you have to have this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Back Cover:, March 9, 2006
