Product Description
Synopsis
In the galaxy of automobile makers, the star in Stuttgart shines brightly. Arising from the accumulation of technology, design, and sports, a firm was created in 1886 whose economic force has made it a player of international significance.The concise and compelling texts shed light on manifold aspects of Mercedes history, from engineering to the economic-political power exerted by this world-wide concern - richly illustrated with a variety of historical documents. Throughout the 600-page book, naturally, one thing stands out: the vehicle itself. Rainer Schlegelmilch's photographs veritably pay homage to the embodiment of the German dream car. The long series of models, complete with their technical specifications, the peaks of sporting successes, the story of the founders and the makers, the designers and the race car drivers - all this and more is gathered in this opulent volume.

Format:Paperback
This is a beautifully laid out book with a flexible cover (Not quite a paperback) MercedesWritten in English, German and French with some rich photographic illustrations of the entire history of the Mercedes marque.
The book details not only the roadgoing cars produced by Mercedes but also a well detailed account of the Mercedes motorsport heritage.
From the first automobile ever produced by Mercedes right up to the more recently produced models (2004 onwards).....all are photographed and described with technical specifications.
This book is a true "must have" for any Mercedes owner or enthusiast

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book. Exemplary production (although I am not keen on "flexi" end covers) with lots and lots of marvellous, large colour photos. Unlike the big Jaguar history this separates the history from the pieces on the cars which for me makes it easier to use. The individual car commentaries are full and often surprisingly informative although for some reason the internal W and R codes are ignored except in the initial introduction. This is somewhat of an irritant and, along with the extremely sparse (and in German only) technical specifications renders this a beautiful "best of marques" commemoration rather than a reference book. However, in this niche it is hard to see how it could have been improved and is quite remarkable value.
