The Complete Book of Ford Mustang by Mike Mueller is everything I hope for in a book like this: great pictures, enough technical info to understand the differences between models, and plenty of history to better understand the longevity of the model。I have become hooked on these types of books。 Large format, just enough information for someone like me, who only ever owned two Mustangs in my life (one of which I try not to hold against them), to appreciate the entire history。 I think there is eno The Complete Book of Ford Mustang by Mike Mueller is everything I hope for in a book like this: great pictures, enough technical info to understand the differences between models, and plenty of history to better understand the longevity of the model。I have become hooked on these types of books。 Large format, just enough information for someone like me, who only ever owned two Mustangs in my life (one of which I try not to hold against them), to appreciate the entire history。 I think there is enough technical information for those more mechanically inclined。I don't write book reports like some people, I gave that up in elementary school, I'm more interested in giving you some idea whether you might like the book。 Because of the wonderful photographs and history of each model, I think even the casual Mustang admirer or car lover will find a lot to enjoy。 Those more mechanically inclined won't mistake this for a Chilton's but will, I think, find enough technical info to keep them happy as well。Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more
