4.0 out of 5 stars Good content and details, an easy read..., March 25, 2000

By	A. Gascoigne (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good books on Ghias are difficult to come by - This is definately the best I've seen or thumbed through. Details the Coupe's and Cabriolets seperately and covers all the major changes to details through the cars production, backed up with some excellent photographs. Also covers type 3 Ghias.
