Oh, what a fun little book! Chock full of wonderful little cars that time has seemed to forget. With over a hundred examples! I remember reading about some of these in the past, even seen a few of them in person, but this book really opened my eyes to a world that I scarcely knew existed. If this book does not bring a smile to your face, you must be the Grinch!

Full of delightful vintage pictures, this book has entertaining essays about tiny cars from an early Oldsmobile until cars made since 2010. Although some of the information is a biit too ger-heady for the general reader, it's a fun book.

If you're a fan of both history and cars, look no further than The Big Book of Tiny Cars. Starting from the 1900s all the way to today, Hayes gives a chronological overview of all the most popular and visually appealing microcars, minicars, bubble cars and similar tiny vehicles. Each car comes with not only the information on its production history and social context, but also a bunch of car photographs and advertising drawings, essential facts like dimensions, engine and performance, and some fun facts and trivia.

This information-packed colourful book would also make the perfect present for any fan of odd or vintage vehicles that can usually be seen only in museums or old magazines. Huge thank you to NetGalley, Russell Hayes and Quarto Publishing Group for the advanced reader copy.
