Unexpectedly good...November 18, 2008 I wasn't expecting much - generally I'm not a fan of all those cheap fathers' day/dad's birthday 'My dad had one of these'-type books (they're too obviously an easy earner for their authors/publishers and the text sometimes seems as if it's been written in a pub somewhere during a lunch break...) However, maybe because TV cars are just more inherently interesting/nostalgic, this one wasn't bad - I enjoyed it - the text is more informative (well, a bit!) and less laddish/childish than it is in some of those other books. If you can remember back to the 70s and 80s (and you watched a lot of TV!), you'll likely find it OK. If you're younger than that, then you won't, because you won't get the 'nostalgia effect' and it'll just seem like a load of old cars, some good, some bad, some ugly...
