"An excellent book all round from the quality of the paper used to the actual contents. Laid out in an A-Z format given information on the current crop of cars from around the world. Not the norm it must be said there are some really obscure car companies here. For example the Iran Khodro from Iran. The Ferrari's and Lambo's are great to read about but it is discovering the more obscure, low volume car companies that makes this book special."
