Just read a good book about VW
I just finished "Getting the Bugs Out", by David Kiley, and thought I'd recommend it here.
It covers the early history, including Ferdinand Porsche's early career, and goes into the Beetle in the '50's and '60's, then covers in detail VW's struggles through the '80s and early '90s, to their recovery in the last few years. It's all text, with just a few photos in the middle.
The book is heavy on marketing and advertizing, but then that stuff can be very interesting. I just wish there were more on engineering and manufacturing.
I've never seen a book like this about Porsche. Is there one?
