Must Own Book for Car Lovers

All,

You HAVE to get this book: Nachricht für Netscape 4 User

It's amazing how much you can learn about the auto industry and design from ads. I believe all the ads were for North America, but it has European, American and Japanese cars. The book is also inexpensive, 10$ US, so at the current exchange rate that's like one Euro.

Perhaps the most interesting thing is the VW ads; they feel exactly the same thirty years later.

He isn't promoting his own work/products. He's suggesting a good book for all of us car lovers. That's ain't no spam, son.

Thanks for the suggestion Nic, I'll try to get ahold of that book.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm not involved with the book in any way, I just bought it and was amazed.

I know your tricks you sly sonuvagun. Expect a temporary ban.



All retardedness aside, I may pick this up. I'll take your word for it.

I'll bring a Euro in August, make sure to have a copy in exchange....
