Hardcover: ISBN 9781862076280

Editorial: Granta Books, 2003

Used book - Very good.  This first edition first printing is in a near fine condition with a very good dust jacket. Has minimal creasing on the top edge of the dj on top and bottom and you will find a couple of tears as seen on the photos. The pages are excellent, bright and clean free from signs of wear. Hardcover. Stimulating, informative, provocative, and witty, Drive On! charts the international history of the car, decade by decade, examining how cars have adapted as a result of what society has demanded of them. While some chapters are devoted to quirky topics like Where to Stop and What to Wear, others look at the technological changes of the last century, from wooden wheels to computer control. Along the way, L.J.K. Setright, who is considered one of the worlds foremost and most forthright writers on the subject, offers fascinating divagations on everything from the origins of the word dashboard to the maximum speed of a raindrop.
