I second the motion, Dyer. Excellent reading, lots of great B&W pics., intersting history. Wait 'till I tell my wife you got it for $1... she paid ten (4th printing, but excellent condition with dust cover). The book, Small Wonder, The Amazing Story of the Volkswagen, is by Walter Henry Nelson. There is no ISBN #, it was first printed in 1965. Library of Congres card # is 65-10899. Highly Recommended to All! -Andy ------------------------------------------- Andy McKinley 75112.2101@compuserve.com '72 Campmobile, Looking for a Thing to add to the stable. >I'm reading the book "Small Wonder", a history of the Volkswagen written >in the '60s.
