Don't even think about buying this book !!!!!!
6 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I pre-ordered this book and simply can't believe how bad this book is.
The "authors" know nothing about Mercedes-Benz.
Bare bone informations and the usual stock photos, nothing original at all. And worse, what little it has are full of errors.
I am convinced they cut, copy and paste this book together off the web. How else can one explains why several different identifications system were used in describing the same car.
The popular 300E is listed under E class in some years, and under a strange 300 series in others.
380SL and 380SE are listed as 380 Series !!! And 560SL and 560SEL ?? You guessed it, seperately listed under a 560 series.
Many photos were also labeled with the wrong car, a SEC was labeld as a 300E Coupe.
Does anyone knows of a 1985 300SC Turbodiesel or a 2002 CL500-2 ?
And the list goes on and on.........

Really awful book and a waste of time and money
26 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book thinking it would have information that I could use. Unfortunately, wikipedia has better info than this book. The book promises production totals for all models, but only give total Mercedes production per year until 1990, breaks it down by model in the 1990,s then goes back to no information on later models. Most of the information contained is pointless and useless. Do we need to be reminded under every year category that Mercedes is produced by Daimler Benz and is distributed by Mercedes Benz of North American. Once is enough, but 100 entries is stupid.
Overall, if u know anything about Mercedes, you will learn nothing about them from this book, if you know nothing, this book will just confuse you because it mostly talks about engine size and 0-60 times, and give you no real knowledge or insight about them
A huge disappointment

Disappointing
12 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
Its a very nice looking book. But, very inacurate. Several models list for sale in the US, in Mercedes-Benz own literature and books do not show up in this book. This should have been checked a lot better before publishing. In general I like the Standard Catalog series of books. But, I found this to be too inacurate to even be useful.
