Industry Reviews

'A book that deserves to be noticed.' Contemporary Review 'It is a book which is impossible both to read in the ordinary sense, or to put down. Professor McShane has listed, in short, staccato sentences, every event in the history of the car, and its predecessors, which a thorough search of the literature and newspaper files has given him, and a fascinating story it is.' Traffic is Other People
