As I flip through this book, which I received as a gift, I seem to find an error on almost every page. The fact checkers for a book of this size should’ve spent more time verifying the numbers they present as genuine statistics. As someone who has more than a passing knowledge of automobiles, particularly engine sizes, power output, and production runs, I think it only right that I point out what I see to be incorrect information. Based on this, I can’t recommend this book, especially to any youngsters who are just beginning to learn about the history of automobiles. My son won’t be reading this. I’d be more than happy to sit down with Mr. Cheetham to go over the errors page by page.
