fun for some hours.......2007-05-19

my son is 3 and he loved, he wanted to do it all in one day! the only problem is that then it was over!!! but we still read it.

Disappointed.......2007-05-07

I bought this for my son. He enjoyed it but, I was disappointed in what you got for the price I paid. The book was a meager 8 pages and the stickers did not stick very well. They kept falling off the pages. For a price of $6.99 I didn't feel it was worth it.

Great for 4 year Cars fan!.......2006-09-07

My 4 and a half year old son LOVED this sticker book. I bought it just after the movie came out and he didn't put it down for 2 hours ! It would have been perfect for a long trip. Now that he's four these types of books are great--finding the correct sticker to be placed in the right spot--then he would ask us to read the caption.

A bit overpriced, but a great travel book........2006-07-25

I picked this up for my 6 year old son to occupy him while we flew.
He loved it and it totally engrossed him. And he worked on it until he completed filling in all the blank spots with stickers.
There were quite a few extra stickers as well, a little bonus.
The stickers were fairly removeable without damage to the page or the stickers, which is a big bonus. It seemed to have all the characters.
It had lots of fun colorful stickers, and they were pretty easy for my son to remove himself, and didnt tear when he tried to remove them.
I do think it is overpriced.

Ultimate Sheet Metal Fabrication.......2005-08-31

Very good for the novice sheet metal worker. Good explanations on the how's and why's of sheet metal work. Great interviews with professional mechanics. Pictures also help alot, as the task is explained the reader can see the before and after of a given project. Looking forward to my first project.

Watch two Biker Build Offs on TLC you will learn more.......2005-08-11

about metal working than this terribly mis-titled book. Read the other low rated reviews. They cover the problems well enough. Only thing I can figure is all the 5 star reviews are friends of the author or something.

One guy mentions how much he learns about metal shrinking. My question is how? It is mentioned many times. In one place they have a photo caption saying heat shrinking works by heating a spot and then blasting with air to quick cool it. As for mechanical shrinkers, they never tell you how they work. Or give any info on how to figure out how much or how to really shrink metal. You will learn it can be shrunk and pretty much nothing else.

For someone wanting to learn metal work, it isn't useless. It is pretty close to it. You honestly can learn more by watching some Biker Build Offs as metal is worked in the background. I haven't been this disappointed in a book in many years.

Useless for the amateur.......2004-09-30

This book should have been titled "Interviews with the masters of sheet metal fabrication" instead. Very little content to show the uninitiated how to achieve a particular goal or effect in sheet metal-work. It consists predominantly of interviews with different practitioners of particular approaches to sheet metal shaping, with the bottom line being: "You could do this w/ hammer & dolly, or any of several other methods, but this is the faster approach I prefer..." It was an interested read, but not something worth keeping as a reference. I wish I had saved my money.

Fanatastic overview.......2003-01-19

This book and the author not only answered the questions that no other books on metal shaping could, but it also draws upon interviews and information from renowned masters. It touches the heart and soul of the revival that is occurring in metal shaping and discusses all (English Wheel, air/power hammers, etc.) of the fancy and wonderful tools while showing you how these techniques can all be done with nothing more than patience, skill, a hammer or two and a tree stump. For the price, this book can't be beat! The only improvement I would ask for in the next printing is a more complete index but I plan to read this book enough times that I won't even need it.

Daves opinion........2002-01-26

Hi My names Dave. I own a company that makes custom motorcycle parts, DC Fabrications of North Charleston SC. (843) 529-0095. I found this book to be a great source of info and ideas. I would reccomend this book to everyone in my industry, or anyone intrested in sheetmetal fabrication. Dave.

Beautiful book although it doesn't live up to its title........2006-06-27

This book is very beautiful. It has great pictures of each car from different angles, a short description of each car and lots of comments about certain details.

Although this is a very nice book, it doesn't quite live up to its title, for a couple of reasons. First of all, the descriptions for each car is quite short so if you're interested in some specific cars, you'll need to look elsewhere for more complete information.

The other reason is the choice of cars included in the book, as well as excluded. It's obviously very difficult to choose among all the classic cars in history, but here, the term "classis car" seems to have a vague defenition. Here are some cars that are undoubtedly classics because they are of great historical importance, such as Mini Cooper, Citroen 2CV, some that are classics because they are among the most sought after exclusive cars in the world, such as Bentley, Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari 365, etc. But there are also those that don't seem to be classics at all, that the writer himself says are bad, like Maserati Kyalami and Daimler Dart. How come these are included when certain other classics are excluded? I also wonder why there are no pictures of the early Lamborghini Countach but only the anniversary model, and why did they chose late convertible models of classics such as Morris Minor and Volkswagen?

These are just minor flaws and this is a very good book that I'm glad I own. But don't buy it expecting an "ultimate classic car book".

Beautiful Book, But Doesn't Live Up to It's Title.......2006-03-10

I thoroughly enjoyed looking at everything contained in Quentin Wilson's "The Ultimate Classic Car Book," but what it contains doesn't even come close to earning it the title, "Ultimate."

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good book and may well be worth your $18 (or whatever you can get it for "Used"). But as a person who owns a classic car and has been active in classic car circles for several years, a book doesn't earn the "Ultimate" designation when it doesn't include the bullet-nosed 1950 or '51 Studebaker, a 1913 Stutz, the Tucker, a '41 Lincoln Zephyr, a '55 Plymouth Belvedere, a '57 Chevy Nomad, or several others widely recognized as classics.

Yes, I realize that my little list there is heavily skewed to American cars, but Wilson's book is VERY heavily skewed to include more models than necessary from Rolls-Royce/Bentley, BMW, Datsun, MG, and a couple of others. Again, don't misunderstand -- those are all great cars that he has included. I simply don't think you can include so many of those, ignore other obvious classics that many of us would like to learn and see more about, and still call your book "Ultimate".

I know I'm obsessing a bit, but if I only had $20 to spend on such a book and bought it over the Internet, I would feel a little cheated upon seeing how much it leaves out. Just make sure you review it thoroughly above so that your expectations are on target.

NICE BOOK SLIGHT ERROR.......2004-08-15

STAR OF THE SCREEN
ON PAGE 92 WHERE BULLITT AND THE CHARGER ARE MENTIONED, IT EXPLAINS HOW THE CHARGER ALSO HAD MAJOR ROLES IN THE 1970s CULT MOVIE >VANISHING POINT. AND THE AMERICAN TELEVISION SERIES>THE DUKES OF HAZZARD.

THE CAR THAT PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN VANISHING POINT IS IN FACT A "CHALLENGER" NOT A CHARGER AS INDICATED.

FOR SOMEONE WHO IS DOING RESEARCH OR LOOKING TO LEARN ABOUT CARS AND MOVIES, THAT BIT OF INFORMATION IS SPECIFICALLY INACCURATE.

a thorough work that is well worth [the money].......2003-03-10

It seems Quentin Willson has made the ideal coffee table book. The Ultimate Classic Car Book groups together all shapes and sizes of classic cars from DeLoreans to Datsuns and Vegas to Volkswagens, and all with original and beautiful photographs wrapped in concise and precise text equavalent to about a page of novel. Willson does a very consistent job of presenting each car with basic facts and statistics along side special traits or other interesting items that make each car unique. One example of an interesting fact is the mention of the "Autronic Eye" available as an option on the 1959 cadillac convertible that would dim the headlights when an oncoming car approached. Willson also gives us insight into the cars by adding his own commentary. Examples of this can be found in his reference to the "Autronic Eye" as a mere marketing gimmick that never took off and his accusal that the stainless steel of the delorean was a "cynical marketing ploy." Even if you aren't interested in reading about the many classic cars of the world, this book is worth a purchase just for the full color meticulously crafted photographs and trivia. I would recommend The Ultimate Classic Car book to anyone interested in learning about automobiles of the past

For your eyes..........2000-07-10

What diferentiate this book from the others are the photos. We can see that all of them were taken exclusively to this book. For all the cars there are front/side/rear view photos. For some of them there are also top-views, that is hard to find in other sources.

Book Description

A treasury of Corvette memories - short stories, essays, tall tales, and reminiscences - all devoted to the Corvette and the special role it plays in our lives. The Corvette is an American icon revered around the globe. It is a household name, art on wheels, a fantasy in curvaceous fiberglass and chrome, a full-throttled declaration of independence, a poke in the eye to the status quo, an obsession, a religion, a way of life. If ever there was a legendary sports car, the Corvette is it. Stories by well-known and respected Corvette historians and celebrities, automotive journalists, authors, and others with a tale to share are complemented by fabulous period artwork and current photographs for a nostalgic look at Corvette's influence both on the road and off.

EXCELLENT.......2004-05-19

Having been into old Corvettes since the mid 70's, I was excited to see such a large and cohesive collection of actual FACTS which are missing from some of todays Corvette publications. It also makes for good reading, as the stories unfold you are taken to "way back when". Of special note is the feature on #003, the oldest surviving Corvette.

A Great Way to Increase Your Corvette Pleasure!.......2003-10-16

The Corvette turned 50 this year. Yet it seems like this American icon has always been with us.

I belong to that huge majority, people who have always wanted to own a Corvette . . . but never have. I was delighted to see that this book even includes us. The first essay, "Ever Want to Buy a Corvette?," talks about all the "good" reasons why we never did buy one. I found myself there. That whetted my appetite to read about those who took the big step, and learn more about how it affected their lives.

The long and the short is that this book makes me want to own a Corvette more than ever. I hope I decide to act on that long delayed desire soon!

The book features wonderful photographs and artwork of the most gorgeous Corvettes, even showing some that have been over customized. I found my appreciation for the styling growing after I saw how little the design could be improved visually.

The essays come at the subject from every direction -- speed, buying, fixing up, sharing, and the effects on one's marriage. Less you think this is only a man's book, "Lifestyle of a Corvette Widower" will amuse you with the woman's version of the life of a man whose wife owns a 'Vette.

The book is also good on history, including a timeline of key events, tracking down one of the original cars and sharing the letter that saved the Corvette project from being scrapped in the early days.

My favorite essay was Martin Milner's about his days as an actor on "Route 66" when George Maharis and he drove their beautiful new Corvettes off to new adventures every week.

Although I cannot speak as a Corvette owner, I suspect that this book would make a great gift to someone who does indulge in that wonderful status.

Enjoy!

After you finish this wonderful book, be sure to go out for a drive (even if it's only a test drive) or a Corvette.

This Old Corvette.......2003-06-04

A timely book for the the 50th anniversary of the Corvette. The stories were entertaining and well done. The authors are some of the best known people in the Corvette world and ordinary Corvette owners as well. I have two copies of this book, one for my office and one for my home. I have recomended it to all my Corvette buddies around the country. You will not be disapointed.

This "do-it-yourself truck book" offers a simple task for young truck lovers: match the different truck stickers to the right truck outline in an 8- page booklet. Each of these blob-like outlines features a short (15-30 word) caption, such as: "Sharp teeth: The enormous mass excavator scoops up earth or rocks in a bucket attached to its long arm. It then empties the load into a dump truck to be carried away." And thus the hunt begins for a mass excavator among the four removable pages of color-photo stickers! The brightly colored stickers are (to some degree) reusable, and mostly they are between an inch square and 3 inches by 2 inches. There are about twice as many stickers as outlines, so that even a child who really does complete the book (by matching all the outlines to the stickers) will have plenty left for the even greater satisfaction of sticking decorative trucks onto face, furniture, and Fido. But let's be realistic: most children will not complete the book, and will prefer to treat this simply as a great sticker source. Why not? (Ages 3 to 6) --Richard Farr

Book Description

These sticker books make learning fun! Each title has pages to complete and over 60 colorful, photographic, self-adhesive stickers. Concise, informative text make these topics popular with children both at home and in school. Children can have the satisfaction of making a book of their own on their favorite subject. Extra stickers can be traded with friends or used to decorate and personalize books and stationery.
