Not my first choice of cars to feature, but that's not the point. These books offer insight as to what went on during the build. These publications are genius and definitely something to hang onto. As readers of anything "hot rod", I think all of us try to eek out any "how'd he do it" tidbits we can from most of the published stories we see. That is the mission statement of these books, again, GENIUS. The “Build Book” series is truly insightful. Not my first choice of cars to feature, but that’s not the point.

While a magazine feature might give you an overview of the finished car, with an occasional in-progress teaser shot, these books really answer a ton of questions.... the stuff that makes you yell "how'd they do THAT??!" when you see the car. I had read the volume on the Aeroliner from Posies, and was just amazed at the level they took every part of the car to... there were things I hadn't seen on the car, and details that the average builder may have over-looked that kept me going back and studying. The photography alone in this series is worth the price, and the behind-the-scenes insight is just more value thrown on top. Well worth it, in my opinion. Very insightful, entertaining and interesting. I'll definitely collect the series. An incredible series of books!
