Series Review: Speed Machines"Lavishly illustrated with full-color photos of sleek machines in fire-engine red, sunburst yellow, burnished silver, and sophisticated black (with occasional flashes of glossy blue and pearly white), these slim, oversize books will appeal to lovers of futuristic design and the roaring purr of six, eight, and even twelve cylinders. The simply written texts are full of specific data on components but also include a nifty bit on the history of the manufacturers and the designs. Up-to-date, with future forecasts into 2013, they should keep readers (including those with low skills) interested. ... Along with the Vroom! factor, the publisher promises regular updates on their own website. ... perfect for spiffing up this area of most collections."
