Nice table top book,
By C. Morrison - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Smart Story (Hardcover)
The focus of the book is the Smart model range. The presentation is great with excellent glossy pictures throughout. However there is little or nothing regarding technical or production aspects of the Smart range other than what you would find in any advertisement. I personally would have liked to see more behind the scenes information such as prototypes, crash tests and production facilities.
So if you are looking for a Smart Car picture book then this fits the bill perfectly, if you are wanting a little more in-depth information you will be let down. A nice book for the coffee table and not expensive for the quality of presentation. It would make a nice gift for a proud Smart enthusiast. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Great little primer on all things smart,
By C. Calhoun "StarLord" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Smart Story (Hardcover)
Paul Guinness' report 'the smart story' is a great synopsis of smart history, includes a plethora of images from each model, and gives the reader good introductions to the brand, its initial problems, subsequent resolutions, and other intimate details of the product line, it's green manufacturing process, and its loyal followers.
Though the material is a few years out-of-date now, it still holds intrinsic value for any owner (or would-be owner) of the marque's past and current offerings. As with other books, Paul's writing style makes for an enjoyable read. He explains technical details in a way that is easy to understand, and conveys the marque's spirit and brand. Along with the usual data you'd expect to find in an auto book (e.g., the specs, colors, options, and pricing of various models), the reader evolves a sense of what the smart community holds for them, and what they might expect to find at the dealership, a service garage, or accessory ("after-market" parts) shops. Thus, it has not only served to educate me about the cars and their history, it has also helped to cement my decision to get one of these fun, stylish, quirky little cars. |
