### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Don't expect any history in this book
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2012*

I bought this book thinking it would be a history of the automobile; not an unreasonable assumption, given the title.  It is far from what the title makes it seem like.  I suppose that isn't surprising, given the author is an architecture critic, that he didn't want to write much about a topic he doesn't enjoy.  The essay at the beginning of the book told me two things:  the author really loves buildings, and he doesn't like cars very much.  Why he picked the car as a topic for a book is a mystery, but the lack of enthusiasm for the subject is readily apparent.The book has little history in it, beyond the photos, which I will admit are quite nice.  Had the book been titled "A Photographic History of the Automobile" or something similar, it would have been more appropriate.  Perhaps because he isn't a gearhead, he has a lot of cars in the book you don't normally see, which is a good thing, but unfortunately, the pictures have little in the way of information.The bottom line is, if you want to read about automotive history, don't but this book.  If you want a photo book for your coffee table and you like cars, this will work.

    A nice gift for a car lover.

I bought this book as a gift for my father.  He loves cars and has been in the car business for over 20 years.  The book is full of high quality photos, which is why I chose it.
