Good Coffee Table Book
Good book for the waiting room of an upscale independent auto repair shop or the "reading room" in you own home; i.e. circumstances where you don't expect to read a book cover to cover. Some of the vignettes are very well written. Some are not....

A fun, light read for a car guy like me
I have scouted, searched, and on occasion bought an old car that has been sitting somewhere without a "for sale" sign on it. This book reads like the journal I'd like to write. The cars and their circumstances are mostly unique situations, and...

Great car tales
More compelling a book than I had expected. Would think the tale would become repetitive, but surprisingly not so. Different writers and styles help to mix it up. Fun before and after photos. A good book for incremental reading; falling asleep...

Great book
The stories are very amusing and easy to read and the quality of the book itself is very good. Of course that you must be an automobile fan as I am.

Great Car Guy book
Great book. All car guys either long for a great barn find, or actually know of one waiting to be secured. It was great to hear about people who were actually successful in their searches. What some great cars in that book.

not worth the money
I'm disappointed in this book, especially for the price, oh sure it's nice quality paper and photographs,but the subject matter is primarily foreign cars, and the stories are just, ok, not really that interesting.You can get better stories out of...

A great book for an old car romantic!
Cotter has done a wonderful job of assembling short stories about finding old, desirable cars. The stories are different enough that they do not become repetitive and they don't get bogged down in the detail. The pictures are well done and add...

Good stuff
I bought this great book along with Egans Leanings 2. Both books are great for a quick 'shot in the arm' of gearhead wonderland. Cotter has compiled this wonderful selection of stories and presented it in a very tasteful package. High quality...

Eureka!
Guys and gals who love cars (and those who care about those obsessed people), this book is for you. You'll relish reading about people as crazy as you are about finding and restoring old cars.
