It's not great for artist reference since the car images go into the ditch of the book. Many of the images get cut off as a result. I wish it was printed where each model was on one sheet since it is formatted to be a spread.

When I saw the title, I was excited. When I opened the book, disappointment hit. Each car is highlighted on a two page spread, containing great information and gorgeous pictures. Unfortunately, at least one, and up to three, of the images for each car span two pages and disappear into the spin. I still bought it.
