Excellent book on Volkswagen Beetles and Buses. Provides very good detail on all the major models and many obscure and rare versions. Great pictures throughout the book.

As a teenager I grew up with all my friends having Volkswagens, those cute little beetle shaped cars, they were a real flagship of the hippy years - especially the combi vans as we called them in Australia.
This book is a wonderful dip into history and back in time - although I drive a Volkswagen now I still hanker to see the old beetles at car shows and in collection around the country - there is just something rebellious about them still.

As a big Volkswagen fan, I couldn't resist requesting this book and I wasn't disappointed! The book is full of lovely black + white and colour images of Beetles and camper vans and fascinating text about both types of vehicle. The book is well laid out and informative, with lots of interesting facts and history. I especially liked the movie chapter. I already own lots of VW books but this one seemed to include lots of photographs that I hadn't seen before. I enjoyed this digital version so much that I've already bought the hardback!

Holy VW, Batman! This book is a must-have for any VW fan (like me) or a fan of the open road (also me). Filled with a plethora of information on the history and development to modern models and Hollywood, this book has it all.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Motorbooks for the opportunity to read an advance reading copy.

My Volkswagen loving twelve year old really loved this book! The layout was very user friendly and the pictures were great. The author obviously put a lot of time and effort into this book.

An in-depth history of VW Beetles and vans, full of great vintage photos and ads. It also has great nods to important parts of VW culture: movies, art, and modified bugs.

If you are a Volkswagen aficionado as I am you are going to LOVE this book! A great look into the history of this iconic automobile manufacturer, with so so gorgeous photos to boot and some personal stories as well. My coffee table needs this!

This is an illustrated history to celebrate the 75th and 70th anniversaries of the Volkswagen Beetles and Buses.

I am a huge fan of Volkswagen Beetles and it is my dream to one day own one. When I saw this book on Netgalley I couldn’t resist requesting it. The history of the Volkswagen’s two iconic vehicles was fascinating, especially in their creation. I never realized that Hitler played a part in the creation and production of the original Volkswagen Beetles, then called the KdF-Wagen.

I found the history of this brand and vehicles fascinating, especially since this book included vintage photographs, magazines, prototypes, and ads. It does get very technical about the differences between the different years and models though. I understood very little of those parts but I got the general idea of what changes were being made.

Overall, this was a wonderful illustrated history book. If you are a Volkswagen fan I highly recommend checking this book out.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
As a big fan of VW Buses and Bugs, I knew this book would be enjoyable. The history of these iconic vehicles is interesting. Of course the pictures are great and cover the different styles of VWs. This is a good book for any VW fan.
