Hello everyone.
I am a huge car fan and a collector of auto literature including car books and brochures but mostly car encyclopedia books.
I have a lot of car encyclopedias, but none of them satisfied me completely until now.
I have just bought the first volume of this new book series, called "The most complete car encyclopedia", written possibly by a new author, since i was not able to find any other book written by him.
Since i am a car guy, i always expected from a car encyclopedia to have all the cars ever made, but none did, at least until i bought this new one, few days ago.
This book series has more than 10.000 car brands, and all the models for each brand. Until now, in all the books i have bought, the important brands were covered in few pages, here for example i found all the Alfa-Romeo models, presented separately in more than 120 pages. Not to mention the best book series i have bough had only 2.000 car brands.
Inside each brand it is just as i wished for it to be: a brand history and all the models, with complete gallery, description and specs for each one.
The models are listed in 4 categories: -series production -concepts and prototypes -race cars -coachbuilt
I have just read today they are also publishing soon, the tuner series of the car encyclopedia by the same author.
So from my point of view,, this is the best collection of books dedicated to automobiles, since it has all the cars ever made, from all times and all the information necessary; not to mention everything is very well organized and structured.
Hats of for the effort also, in the book intro is said he spent more than 50.000 hours working on this project.
I only hope i will have the money to buy the complete collection. :drool5:
EDIT: Sorry. Forgot to mention the author's name as requested in rules: Vasilescu Petru-Ionut
