5.0 out of 5 stars Great Illustrations and Information - Hard To Find!!!
Great book on a hard-to-find subject matter. There are not many Russian automobile history books out there. This one concentrates on primarily the early 1900's. Which is great with some great illustrations as well.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing else out there like it
If you're a fan of Soviet limos, just buy it. I understand that there are a few inaccuracies (see the review on hooniverse.com for more details), but it's still a treasure trove. Plus, there's a chapter on Chinese limousines which is also informative.
3.0 out of 5 stars Good content but poorly put together.
Contrary to my belief, I will start with the good news first. The history of USSR vehicles has always been a special topic. I grew up there, but when I was younger, I didn't have nearly as much interest. This book has a very good amount of illustrations and covers the soviet limousines development history well. Even though this book was first published in 2011, I was hoping that the author would have included more information about the last of the ZIL limos. Google image search for ZIL 4104 shows dozens of color images of various editions of the car, but this book only includes one color photo. However, there are too many errors in this book. As the other reader pointed out, the author erroneously refers to the Ford's River Rouge Complex in Detroit, MI located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ouch! Though the most difficult aspect of reading this book was the improper spelling and grammar in Russian and the transliterations. Being a native Russian speaker, those kind of things jump out immediately. Also, page 48 starts a new paragraph without a proper indentation and with the lower case letter. I quadruple checked to make sure I didn't miss anything. Additionally, on page 50, there is a letter "n" missing from Soviet Union.
5.0 out of 5 stars the Russian cars
A great book! Well illustrated on a little known part of automobile history. I think this book belongs in anyone's car collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Geographically Challenged
Early in the book, the author inaccurately states that Ford's River Rouge plant is in the state of Louisiana!With that kind of glaring "common knowledge for a motorhead" error, how many other errors are in there?

Good read
Excellent
Information about Russian limousines is very difficult to find. This is one of the very few books that contain information about Russian cars. Anybody interested in cars I think must read this book and have it as a reference about Russian limousines.
È interessante
Il libro è bello
Russische Automobil- & Verkehrs-Geschichte der Gründerjahre
In englischer Sprache geschriebener Text zur technischen Entwicklung und Produktion von Motor-Fahrzeugen aller Art innerhalb des damaligen russischen Reiches. Die begleitenden Bilder sind hälftig (Farb-)Zeichnungen und ansonsten zeitnahe Fotos. Neben den zeitgeschichtlichen texten gibt es ergänzend übersichtliche Tabellen zu Firmen und Fahrzeug-Daten. Mehr wird es zu dieser Epoche wohl nur in russischer Sprache geben, was einer internationalen Nutzung kaum dienlich ist.
Only for real real Soviet petrolheads
Ibought this book to help expand my knowledge of Soviet cars. It has some rare pictures of vehicles that I have not seen elsewhere. The technical details are amazing.
Nur die großen Russen
Leider ist "Limousines" wortwörtlich zu verstehen - die vielen kleineren Russsian Vehicles vermisst man halt. Dennoch: Eine informative Ergänzung zum ersten Band.
