Book Reviews of Mercedes (2-Volumes in 1 Book)
Book Review: Almost as heavy as the car!
Summary: 5 Stars
The amount of factual material lavished in this tome about the origins of the motor car and the search for excellence via the Mercedes Benz brand should keep the afficianado glued for hours. The pictures are also excellent. Written in about three or four languages within the same book, the descriptions are backed by photographs - good ones charting the evolution of the Merc from the 19th century right to the modern sleek saloon. I think this is very much for the Mercedes buff or collector and I bought it as a gift. I think this book would be good if it showed how the Merc could grow some wings and start being more in harmony with the Earth's environment based on what sort of fuel it burns and fuel efficiency rather than just talk about technical specifications in self congratulatory terms. Still this book is about "man's" achievement with the motor car and there are things in this which you could admire.
