网友对20th Century Classic Cars的评论

This is a great coffee table book! Bought it for my father-in-law as a birthday present and it has been the talk of all of his friends. So popular in fact that he even asked me to send him a few more copies to distribute among them. Successful gift, I would say!

This was given as a gift to a car fanatic. He said he read most of it in the first week. Quality book.

Purchased this book for my son as a birthday present. He absolutely loves it. Anyone who is interested in auto advertisements of the past will love this book.

Very satisfactory
