Title: Great pictures, so-so text and captions!
Review: For the police vehicle enthusiast, this book will be a real boon. The photos of police vehicles, literally hundreds of them, most in full colour, are magnificent. Most of the police cars shown are American, but there is a fair smattering from other countries as well. The photography is generally of a high standard, and the reproduction is exquisite. The text, however (what there is of it), is pretty generalistic. Then again, this is a PHOTO book. I did notice some of the captions, particularly in the model police car chapter, were totally inaccurate, as though written by someone who didn't know much about the models concerned. This compares with the chapter on old police cars, where the captions are highly detailed. Of particular interest is the range of unusual and spectacular police vehicles, such as the DARe cars (Corvettes, Camaros ... the works!). A great book photographically, that is pulled down from being a ten by some of the insipid captions.
