Book Reviews of The SL Experience: The Ultimate Mercedes-Benz SL Resource Book
Book Review: Awesome, comprehensive SL resource guide!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an outstanding resource for people like me who are learning about SL's and for long-time admirers of these classic cars. I am in the market to purchase an SL - and, John's book has helped me immensely. Besides the comprehsive histories and comments that he makes about each category of SL, he provides cites to resources that allowed me to continue my research. I think that the touring, racing, art, and SL community references in the second half of the book are perfect for anyone who is interested in and cares about SL's. Also, John's perspectives on collector car insurance, restorations, auctions and other more practical issues are very helpful. Basically, just about anything that you need to know to learn about or purchase an SL is in this book. I just subscribed to John's SL Market Letter and can't wait to get more information about these cars, including current market prices. In sum, whether you are a collector or enthusiast, are in the market to purchase an SL or just want to learn about the history of these awesome cars, you should definitely buy John's book. This comprehensive collection of information in one, easy to read place is well worth every penny that I paid.
