Summary: If you like B&W TV you'll LOVE this Book
Comment: This book could have been SO much better if only they had added color pictures, in color it would be at least a 4 star book, but the ONLY color pictures are on the front and back cover. This book does show many different woodies, and brakes them down into chapters from the 1911 to the late 50's, it just doesn't work in black and white. While there may be photos of cars here that are not seen elsewhere, it is no way a detailed study of the art form, which relegates it to the casual read and without the color pictures hides the beauty of the cars.
In fairness the Black & White photos and ads of the very early vehicles are to be expected, but the rest of the photos seem to have been taken in the late 1990's at car shows in Califorina. This only makes the lack of color all the more irritating, and to add insult to injury the captions often describe the color of the cars in detail!
The most attractive feature of woodies are the magnificent color contrasts seen in the wood, and this book shows you none of them. If the publisher ever prints a color version of this book I might buy it again, but I don't recommend it until then.
