Product Description

Review
'Perfect for fans of the programme and car fanatics alike' --The Sun

Product Description
If you like the "Top Gear" TV show but you wish it was made of paper and didn't move around so much, this is the answer to your prayers. "The Big Book of Top Gear" is packed full of all the chunky, meaty, sometimes-a-bit-on-fire goodness of the telly programme, with the added bonus that you can read it in the bath. Among other things you'll find: 27 previously unknown facts about the Stig; some of the most powerful cars ever to attack the track; the raunchy story of Richard Hammond's love affair with a small Opel; an essential guide to May-style sheds for the modern gentleman; everything you wanted to know, but never found out, about Top Gear's most exciting trips; and, comprehensive, fully illustrated arguments against both public transport and the humble caravan. Packed with action and all the power you'd expect from the petrol heads at Top Gear, "The Big Book 2009" is the must-have for fans of "Top Gear", from teenagers to granddads and everyone in between.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for all fans of the best car show on telly!!, 22 Oct 2008
By C. Humphries (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a huge Top Gear fan I was chuffed to see that everything I wondered about previously was now available in this highly amusing and very random compilation! If you are a big fan of the show, I suggest you buy it, come on it's only £7ish!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars FUNNY, 19 Nov 2008
I don't even watch Top Gear that religiously but I bought the book for my brother for Christmas. I opened it to write a message in the cover and ended up reading most of it! I laughed out loud on so many occasions, it is SO funny!! As funny if not funnier than the show.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to accompany the series, 29 Nov 2008
By Lindsey Lawrence "Gamegirlatheart" (Neath, south wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My brother (who's in his late 20's) saw this book and said he wanted it, so i first went out to check it out. I forgot to check this book out but looked at the annual, but found that to be aimed at children (incidently, i found the annual is very good and has lots to do in it). I then ordered it and after reading some bad reviews, i started to worry. Today, i went into a shop and saw one, and to settle my nerves, i had a look at it. I enjoyed what i read of it. For those who complain that there are things from the series in it, it is a companion to the series, so it will have things already seen, which is expected of any book which comes from any series (cookery, comedy to name a few). Secondly, for those who say it's daft, top gear is a daft series anyway, and found a lot of stuff that would be said by the guys. If it had been about cars, then it would have been boring. The magazine focuses on the actual cars so if that's what you're after, then this is not the book for you. If you want a laugh and are a fan of the series, then this is for. After all, if it hadn't been good enough, it wouldn't have carried the top gear label with it. I'm looking forward to receiving the book and know my brother will love it.
