Revue de presse :

Classic & Sports Car (UK), December 2006

“A good mix of images accompany text that crams in the information without being heavy: we particularly liked accompanying panels listing the ideal soundtrack, perfect passenger and the best place to drive each car.”

Shropshire Star (UK), Oct. 20, 2006

“Car nuts will love it.”

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nov. 23, 2006

“Whether you agree with the selection of cars or not ... you’ll enjoy the brief thumbnail sketches and beautiful photography and reproduction of advertisements that run all through this book ... A lot of it is tongue in cheek, of course, but always great fun. It’s a blast to simply imagine yourself behind the wheel of some of these obscure, and not so obscure, cars and trucks.”

“One of the best car books you can buy, 365 Cars You Must Drive is a thorough book full of all cars from every corner of the world, including the Yugo and the Tucker. It is my overall favorite book, and is relatively small and doesn't weigh 10 pounds like the first book I mentioned. It also includes current value statistics that are right most of the time.” – The Car Nut

Detroit News, Oct. 28, 2008

“Time well spent.”

Victory Lane, November 2006

“Great holiday reading!”

Gayot.com, Aug. 7, 2007

“For anyone who lives and breathes anything automotive, this is a must-have for your library.”
