I second the motion, Dyer. Excellent reading, lots of great B&W pics.,
intersting history.  Wait 'till I tell my wife you got it for $1... she paid ten
(4th printing, but excellent condition with dust cover).
The book, Small Wonder, The Amazing Story of the Volkswagen, is by Walter Henry
Nelson. There is no ISBN #, it was first printed in 1965. Library of Congres
card # is 65-10899.

Highly Recommended to All!
