Has anybody bought this? Is it a real book or just a print of articles I already know? Does anybody know the authors?

If as it says it's a self-published collection from Wikipedia, ANYONE with a computer can post on any subject on Wiki, just like on any Forum. The vetting process for facts seems not very well defined and the authors are never mentioned. You as an owner and published author could probably write a better one, Mikael, or at least intelligently review this offering. Too bad it's after Christmas- all my extra $$$ are long gone.

I suggest you not buy it. It has prints of various wiki pages: the lonchamp page, on Alessandro, on DeTomaso cars, on Pantera, pages about HenryFord, on auto manufacturing, on internal combustion engines and 50 more pages of useless automotive crap not related to our cars, as Boss said you can read the 'contents' of the book on wiki pages. It is just a rip off and since wiki has no copyrights the author / publishing house is laughing all the way to the bank.
Too good to be true is usually... Well, you know the the reason why you asked the question in the first place.
