READ THIS: A–Z of 21st-Century Cars by Tony Lewin
It may be snowing outside, but you can turn your thoughts to turning these pages exploring the hottest new models of automobiles to speed away in on a sunnier day! A-Z of 21st Century Cars is a complete reference, yet a fun reference, to cars of today made by brands all around the world. For every car lover, male or female, this will make a great Valentine's Day gift. We particularly liked the designer biographies as you know we are always interested in the person behind great brands and we were glad to see an Anne among those featured. Of course Chevrolet is our favorite and we were pleased to see the Vette on page 109.
This is not necessarily a book to read cover to cover, but rather to read a bit at a time depending on what interests you the most. However, we do know some extreme car enthusiasts who would read it cover to cover....if you are taking Metro North to Lime Rock Park this would be a great book to peruse on your way up there to get yourself even more psyched up for the track. With over 1,500 illustrations, visually this is a work of art. And they even used WHOM correctly on page 532...we would expect nothing less from Mr. Merrell who is properly English!
