Title: Extreme Mistakes
Review: Extreme has become an overused word. These cars were not the norm, but they were available from certain dealers. Agreed; no forewords in the book. What really bothers me is the numerous grammatical errors and misspellings. Here's an example: 'the block was bored to .30'. I'm sure it means 0.030 over, but bothersome to me. This makes me suspect the other "facts and figures" in the text. Obviously the proof reader was absent that day. They even misspelled one driver's name when the proper spelling is very clearly seen on the car door in the picture. I expect better. I do give it good marks for the pictures; many, clear and interesting. Money better spent elsewhere.Update 1-12-08:Factory Lightweights is a much better book, it's available right here at Amazon and is the better value within the same category of cars/ interest. You can tell more research and author excitement went into this publication. I recommend it over this particular book.
