As a graphic designer, I'd say that this is a well laid out book from Craig Cheetham. His other automovive books in this series are designed just as well. Lots of cars, photographed with studio lighting, and clipped out from the normal rectangular box makes this very interesting to read. Even for some of the cars from Muscle Car history that aren't as popular with some. The information for each car is more bulleted and brief, sticking to the highlights and quick facts about each car. Craig's books in these series use a country flag at the top of the page for every vehicle in the books. This book is strickly all USA made models (Muscle Cars must only be an American occurance), so each page has a USA flag in the corner. This makes this country of origin a little odd for this book. This was the only bad thing I can say with the book. Otherwise, great reading!
